I've got a stock SWB vitara and I'm going to be adding the following over the next few weeks:
2" Body Lift
30mm/15mm Coil Spacers
Ironman Extended Rear Shocks
Stock LWB Vitara Coils - Same length as SWB, but thicker.
1.5" Front Strut Spacers
Strut Mount Flip
Just wondering if I should be adding extended brake lines to that list? The BL instructions have rotating the brake line (something, I forget the part) to face down to give them some more room, but I'm wondering if that will be enough.
Any advice appreciated, cheers.

That's awesome news, thanks! Just saved me $200. I'll keep it in mind if I come into any spare cash, though. Cheers.

I didn't need extended brake lines.
I got 50mm BL, 50/25mm coil spacers, 40mm + struts and strut flip.
But just cross it all up and see if brake lines are too tight.
Don't go too long, either, or they can get caught more easily on stuff.
With strut spacer, coil spacer and a strut flip,
you will start straining your cv's,
and could be close to full stretch on brake lines?.

If I've got the Strut Spacers bought already, do you think it'd be worth just canning the strut mount flip for a later date if needed?
If that would save the CV's a little, I'd be fine just using the spacers.
