not at the moment, i thought you didn't need them for 2", matt said the didn't need them when he had the kit fitted

thumbs:
with a two inch lift you dont need extended barake lines as long as you dont want the front to articulate that is!

buy them just to be on the safe side, rears will be ok as its in the centre, tested mine by lowering the axle to full drop of the shocks and it was ok, changed it eventually though, just didnt have time when i fitted the kit and wanted to go out and play the next day,

you will defo need them for lower shock mounts/turrets etc.

you dont need spring compressers if you havent got anti roll bras, front prop hits anti roll bar not allowing the axle to drop further enough to put bigger springs in!

As Thumbs says you should be ok if you don't go getting silly and putting the front end over the whoopy stuff.

I had mine on a four post lift and dropped the axles right down on the shocks to check the lengths. The standard ones will just about do but swap them out as soon as you can just to be on the safe side.

If the guy you got them from ran ok on standard then you will probably be ok. Me I'd swap them out anyway. Dont forget most of the kits are a slightly different and some will need them and some won't.

Good luck with job - hope it goes well . . . . . . . you'll be getting bigger tyres next then I take it . . . . . seems to go that way once you start lifting  :twisted:
