The axles and suspension have not changed, they should work.

Get 4 brackets similar to this to extend your brake-lines. I did something similar to this on my JKU with OME HD coilspring lift on all 4 corners. Way cheaper. Cost me like $10 to extend all 4 lines.

I agree. I took those wierd brackets on the 2011 fronts off and replaced them with crowns from Northridge.

I still think on the rear it will bring the brake line down even farther and you may have the same issue as before with the brake line braking. As the brake line is pulled down the part of the frame also pushes the brakeline out away from the frame making it more suseptable to getting snagged by the swaybar link. Dave, (NORTHRIDGE) said they are coming up with a fix for the for the swaybar links. We have to find a solution for that prior to EJS.
The front brake line drop brackets will cause the brake line to rub the front shock mount.
