Hello all!

I'm looking at Tough Country's 2in add a leafs for my 76 k10 but I'm wondering if I need to adjust brake lines or steering components after doing the lift. I'm assuming no since it's only 2 inches but I wanted to be sure before I go and place an order

Can’t speak for K10 but my K20 came with 4” lift and original brake hoses. They actually worked but were tight. 2” lift “should be ok. Just jack the frame up 2” and see if there’s still some slack in the existing hoses.
Same with Pittman arm. I’d try it stock first. You can always change it later but it won’t be un-drivable in the meantime.
Shocks, if they’re old, run em. Worst case you pop one from stretching it out.
But if they’re old, you may want new anyways.
