I would thin that brake lines would be a non issue. If your going to lift
it, it doesn't make much difference whether the axle goes below the
springs, or you get springs that are taller (or use blocks if the axle is
under the springs). You're either going to have enough brake line, or you
don't.
As long as pinion angle is correct you shouldn't have any problems with the
driveshaft. Again, whether you do a spring over, or any other lift, you
still have the same issue with driveshaft angles too.
