Lift questions:
The RE instructions don't say anything about bleeding my front brake line, as I'm only removing it, straightening it out, then reattaching it. Should I still bleed it, and if so when?
For the rear brake line, should I still bleed it if I am going to have my old tires and wheels on for a little bit?
And the most important question, how do I bleed my brakes, how long does it take, and what equipment will I need. Thanks.
EDIT: And, can I do this sometime after I lift the Jeep... will I be able to drive it around before I bleed the brakes?

For the front, it says: "Remove brake hose mounting screw from inner fender well and straighten z shaped bend to lower brake hose. Re-attach brake hose to inner fender well."

Your speedo will only be off by 1-2mph. Mine is only off by 2-3 MAX at highway speeds and I have 31's. I've tested it with my GPS and had a friend drive next to me and we both put cruise control on. It's so little of a difference(width of the needle on the gauge) that I haven't bothered to change anything. But regearing would definitely screw your speedo though.
