Hi, and welcome. What you need to do is to use the search function on this forum. You will find a lot about this topic. With 2" I changed the brakelines (longer) and caster corrected bushes in the radius arms up front.

Hi Welcome, Ditto what Strek says, assuming you're fitting + 2ins springs and shocks, you'll need to fit the longer brake flexy hoses (www.llama4x4.co.uk) first or at the same time especially at the back (otherwise you can't get the axle to drop far enough to get the un compressed springs in). I haven't got round to fitting my caster correction bushes yet but be prepared for a bit of wandering and tramlining if you don't.
