Lift kit questions
 
I've got a 1991.5 that I picked up about 7 months ago that needed some work. At first the idea was to do the bare minimum to get it pack on the road, but now its pretty much turned into a full restoration project. The front leaf springs are looking a little haggard in their old age which I've opted to replace everything with a brand new lift kit. Nothing serious 2.5 inch ideally . My question is, is that enough lift to warrant needing a new pitman arm, drag link and brake lines?

Why not you are already there might as well replace it at the very least replace the brake lines with steel braided. And take a before and after

I just put a set of Skyjacker 2" lift springs in mine. I did replace all of the brake hoses etc, but with stock replacements. The steering was fine, but I did have to re- center the steering wheel which was as simple as pulling it off, and re- installing a few splines to the left. It didn't need a drop pitman arm, and the stock drag link worked fine. I did buy longer shocks.
