Default lift/ spaced help

I got a 3 inch suspension lift on my 09 jk with 33's. If I added 2 inch spacers would I need to redo my break lines and everything??

I would have to say yes... I'd rather extend them and be on the safe side than go wheelin and at full flex rip a brakeline out.... A LOT more expensive to replace than getting some relocation brackets.

I too would say get the extensions. You might be safe DD but if you flex at all, you'll loose your brake line (expensive).
