with my 3.5'' RE lift it came with a rear brake line (extended) but for the front youll just have to relocate the brake lines bracket (take it off and drill a new spot farther down)

At 4" my rear line gets a pinch tight when i'm flexed are far as she'll go...but not enough to brake it....I actually bent the bracket a little in the rear and it doesn't get tight anymore at full flex....So i think you will be ok.

You should get two .75 spacers and replace the stock rubber one to or just get a 1.5 spacer,and take out the rubber one its the same.
