a one inch body lift will be fine and won't be very noticable.

pretty sure there is a write up on this, check out the project section, or do a search for body lift.

This is what I plan on doing as well. I also run a 2" lift and will add a 1" BL when it is time for 35s.

I was runing this same set up for a while (with BL) and never had a problem. I never reattached the emergency brake bracket back to the tub of the jeep, just zip tied together and left hanging, there is plenty of room that way.

You can let them hang or give Teraflex a call. I believe they include a e-brake line drop bracket with their larger lifts, you might be able to just purchase those alone if you don't want the lines hanging.

Another option is to add 1" coil spacers on top of your springs in front and back. I did that to my Teraflex 2.5" lift and like the looks a lot. Didn't want any more gap with my AEV front bumper.
