If that's the only lift you're putting on your rig (on my phone, can't check your profile) then you'll probably only need brake line extension brackets

X2 my wife just got me the BB Rough Country 2.5 lift for my b-day and I want to make sure of this same thing.

I am looking at getting a Disco also before it gets installed.

Pick up a couple mending brackets, screws, nuts, washers at your local hardware store then do this to the rear and you should be okay ...

Talking

Have you considered why your tires would droop further after the lift? (In of itself, a lift only increase the RIDE HEIGHT).

Are you adding longer shocks for example? How much longer than stock? etc...

If so, simply let it droop, and as you are jacking it up, watch the lines...if they get taut, loosen the clips to create slack.

When you see the needed path of least resistance, just re-clip to the new locations as appropriate, and, for example, as the post above illustrates.

This goes for brake lines, wires, diff breathers, etc.

ya i have the shocks too, i already have a spacer lift but i wanted to get the coils for a lil more flex. this is a half inch higher ride height then the two inches i have now and what i have now strethces out the break lines to much so i figured id ask here what would be the best option, and the bracket seems great without having to spend extra cash on new lines.

Default brake lines

I did not have to extend mine when installing the 2.5" RC BB. It all fit well.
