Default 1994 Jeep Cherokee Country 2" Lift, NEED HELP!

I'm planning on doing a 2" budget boost lift on my Cherokee Country, and I know how to install the Add-A-Leafs to the rear suspension, but I am just wondering, when I do the spacer lift on the front coil springs will I have to get new/taller springs, or replace anything else? (I have four new shocks I installed by gabriel that are already enabled for 2" lifts)

Also, will I have to do anything to my brake lines for just a 2" lift?

PLEASE HELP!

So I've got to place the spacers at the highest possible point on the coil?

if your worried, put the suspension in full droop and see if you need to move your break lines. You can just bend them and use a self-tapper to secure them again.

Alrighty, thanks for the help guys. I know it was a pretty novice question, I'm just beginning to delve into off roading and doing my modifications to my jeep myself.

I just put a 2.5" lift on my country &i didnt have to extend or move my break lines at all.& be sure to lube the inside wall of ur spring spacers, they are very tight. Good luck! It will look so much better!!
