    If you already have a 3" lift, you should already be using the extended brake hoses. To add on another 2" lift might cause some serious problems though; drive shaft alignment and binding of other suspension members (trailing arms, sway bar, steering links, rear bars and links, etc.), not to mention stability troubles.

      Ya, you're going to have to correct the castor angles (usually done with the swivel balls), pinion angles, panhard bar, shocks, drive shafts, brake lines, and perhaps the steering linkage angles.

      A 2"-3" lift seems to be the magic number to minimum modification. Coilers don't seem to like more than that without addressing the above. If you want 5" of lift I'd recommend just buying a 5" spring instead. Just much simpler.

        yea i did the air bag conversion kit and got the coils with the 3 inch lift i already took out the sway bars because i broke the back one while off roading and the front one was hitting the driveshaft when i was off roading. so for the extra 2 inchs its not worth going through all that trouble then if i dont want to pay alot to do it

          Extended drive shaft possibly, trailing arms, definitely break lines. Breaking the 3" barrier is where mechanical issues start adding up.
