i just bought some +2 inch a-arms and +2 inch works triple rate shocks with rezzies. My stock size shocks were too short, I didn't really try to bolt them on, i just put them up to the mounts and it didn't reach. And you do need to get longer tie rods and don't worry about the brake lines. I am using my stock brake lines and they fit fine. but eventually i would get extended ones.
hope this helps

If you got stock travel a-arms the stock shocks ill work fine but they will be soft.If you get long travel and use stock shocks ( defeats the whole purpose) your bike will sit like 2 inches lower and they will be really soft
