Default OME springs ordered, do I need brake lines?

So I have my OME 779 springs on order, as well as RTE SLS spacers, and OME shocks. Anyone know if the stock brake lines long enough to handle this or do I need to get extended lines? I already have steel braided lines, so don't want to replace unless I have to.

As long as you stay on level ground you will be fine.
Whenever you lift over 2" you must use longer brake lines. Under 2" and you can get away with it.
You will be fine until you off road, with the axle articulation you will stretch them to far.

With this lift you'll be fine.

I ran that for awhile and it was OK. 779 Don't give as much lift as the 751 front coils. If you are still running on the factory Rubber brakes hose, I would change them out to save a line failure off road and you will also improve your brake pedal height and stopping power.
