Default Lift questions

Ok so I have a 3 inch rough country lift right now. Front lift springs and new leaf pack. I want to add another 2 inches with a shackle and spring spacer lift. Is it going to create any probs with break lines, control arms, sway bars, and so on when it gets to the 5 inch mark?

you might be able to extend the front hardline enough to let the slack out, if not i think you can get one off a YJ and get an extended line for the rear, if you dont already have one. get a set of disco's for your amount of lift, you might want longer LCA's with that much lift also. also, do you have an sye now? if not, going that high you will most likely need one. what shocks are you running with your 3" lift?

If you use a shackle, you will likely have to also install a SYE to take care of the driveline vibration. So what is cheaper, a YJ yoke and full springs or shackle and SYE?
