When adding a Lift
The TF 2.5" kit comes w/brake line lowering brackets, and other 3"-4" kits come with extended brake lines. So, I'd assume you would need to take care of this issue at your 4" benchmark. I don't know if the TF brackets would be enough to do this.

Here's a pic showing what typically comes in a TeraFlex BB kit.
You could make your own for the front or rear by using a 1"x 3 or 4"x 1/8" aluminum that you can get at any hardware store. Drill a couple holes, take and relocate your line farther down. Use the stock bolt for the top and get a small nut and bolt where you relocate the line. Also slack can be pulled for the abs line by unclipping some of the mounts .
like will i have to add longer tubes or anything? this is my first time lifting my JK so i just want to fully understand what i have to do some everything works the way it is suppost to and that i don't have any issues down there road.

Q: What are all the components that I will need with a 4" lift?
A: For a 4" lift, you should have a set of 4" coils, bump stop extensions, longer shocks, extended brake lines, longer sway bar links, adjustable front track bar, adjustable rear track bar, front and rear track bar relocation brackets, dropped pitman arm, adjustable upper and lower control arms front and rear and new double cardin u-joint style drive shafts.
Which TeraFlex lift kit do you have? Is it the kit that TeraFlex posted?
If so, you'll have a total of +/- 4.5" of lift, and :
-New rear links. (you will move your stock rear links up front)
-Front and rear 2" ext bumpstops (may not be enough with 4.5" of lift)
-Rear trackbar bracket for a 2.5" kit, so your rear axle won't be centered for your 4.5" lift.
-No front trackbar bracket/bar. (you will want to address this)
-Rear Brake line extensions for a 2.5" lift. (check the tightness during flex. You might look at extended lines also)
-No front brake line extension/line. (you will want to address this)
-Stock Control Arms. This means you have no way to adjust your caster. With a 4.5" lift, your handling will likely be very flighty, lots of bumpsteer, etc. (If so, look into at least a set of front lower adjustable control arms)
-Shocks? Do you have new shocks? Using shock extensions? The added 2" from lift spacers means you really need new, longer shocks)
-Driveshafts. Put some money aside for new shafts.
-what did I miss?
What size tire are you going with?
Have you looked into backspacing?
Are you prepared to 'trim' whatever rubs?
Have you considered the costs of re-gearing for the new tire height?
A programmer to reset your computer for the new tires/gears?
And the list just goes on and on...

JK Wrangler 2.5” Lift Kit (SKU: 1351000) and i'm gonna fit the shocks once
i get everything installed and see which ones i need
You don't lower the t-case, but getting above 3" or so you will need to chuck the stock CV drive shafts and replace them with U-joint style.
Front for sure... Rear for sure on a 2dr... the longer rear on the 4dr can get away with a little more lift before having to replace it.
