ok so i have this 4.5inch lift on my jeep now http://roughcountry.com/jeep_xj_4x.html for a few months and its not big enough any more. so im getting 2 inch spacers so im sitting at 6-7inchs of lift. that lift came with the longer break lines for the front and rear but will i need to relocate them even more or should they be fine with the extra 2 inchs. what do i need to do for shocks and my control arms are adjustable so i just need to find out how far they need to be adjusted now i guess. let me know if there is any thing else im missing
thanks in advance

i could be wrong but im pretty sure rough country uses the same shocks in there 4.5 kits as they do there 6.5 kits so you could prolly get away with the same shocks
