Otherwise sounds like I am on the right track for the build.

On a same but different note I was out at the dealerships (without my camera) and saw 2 lifted 4 door 2014's non rubis on 35's (MT's and Nittos) that are being sold by the dealers. Kind of cool to crawl under and see what they did. I am thinking a Mopar lift? the shocks were white and just guessing at a 2.5 to 3.5 lift. It looked good. They also tacked the spare right to the tailgate with factory rear bumper and factory spare holder. Don't know how that will hold up.
No ... Front -You can either remove the slack by unclipping from frame or longer lines. Most kits drop the rear hard line using a bracket.

Thank you. I will try and get this corrected when I add in my grade 8 bolt kit. I don't think anything needs to be reprogrammed with the brake lines.

I was probably unclear. I was thinking that if you actually screwed aftermarket brake lines on to extend them(aftermarket) that there was something to be done as far as programming. I really don't think this is the case but as I said I read it somewhere. I don't know for sure however because everything is basically computer controlled and I don't want to screw something up.

Brake lines carry fluid to the calipers, there are no electronics on the lines you will simply have just a bit more fluid in the system.
