I have a 75mm suspension lift (from what I assume was stock) and all was good

From what I have read, it's always good to check the lines to make sure they aren't stretched tight after any lift, but in most cases they shouldn't need extension.

...By most cases i mean 2-3" body and suspension lifts :D .

Check with the car jacked under the chassis and both wheels off the ground. This is when the brake hose is most streched
Sanding your knuckles before starting work can help. That way you cant skin them

Should be fine if you are still using factory shackles, I extended mine when I had folding shackles in.

Buy suspension lifts are you meaning new springs or shackles?? as all auto parts/4wd stores sell them. To lif the front end its pretty much just a matter of screwing up the torsion bars.
Snake racing are one of the very few how make folding shackles.

It should be done perfectly because hole balance and the comfort of your car depends on this only.
