All I know is that I have a 1990 with 2" spring lift, 2" body lift (which doesn't affect brake lines) and whoever put it in didn't extend the lines. If I jack the thing up and chock the chassis, the diff hangs down on the brake line so uh yeh, extended ftw!

50mm suspension with 50mm hangers will give a total 75mm lift front will prob be ok possibly will require rears extending or bend brackets for the rear hose to destress hose at full drop.
Every zuk seems to be different depending of flex of springs.
Cutting or shorter bump stops are a bad idea. with that sort of lift you will have longer shocks make your stops any shorter and you run the risk of damaging your shocks under compression

Depends on your flex in the end.. This was mine with 2inch EFS comfort minus a leaf and 2inch shackels.. The brake line was all sorts of bad. My back didnt flex anywhere near enough to be an issue at this point tho.
Flex it up and check it...
