Ok so i am going to put 4" of lift on my sierra 2" ome springs all round and 2" body lift. What else needs to be upgraded other then the shocks?
(not including the stuff that comes in the kits) getting the suspension from arb and body lift from just cruizin these the best places to go?

You need a set of poly bushes from Bruce!
 on the body lift.
Not sure on suspension, everyone has different opinions

Don't bother with shackles for now. Brake hoses can be made up by any brake shop for you.

Stock Hilux - not likely, different fittings. Any brake shop like ABS will make them for about $40 bucks each. Shackles aren't legal but then again most things aren't.

I'd say it's never a good thing to use 2nd hand brake lines  For the sake of safety, $80 isn't unreasonable for a pair of new brake lines

Never use 2nd hand brake lines!! The cost of new ones is so minimal compared to the risks involved in 2nd hand ones.

That only happens at your place Steve  If it can't be fixed with a welder or grinder, it's not worth fixing.
