should i replace the brake lines as well?
If the rubber lines are original they are probably worth replacing....
The same goes for all of this: if this is all original, if you have the resources (time, place to work, skills, help, patience, ability to have the truck off the road for a couple of days) then a knuckle rebuild, etc etc makes sense... It's the "While I'm at it" philosophy... Are you planning on keeping the truck for a long time?
This can get costly (time & $) but you will have a completely refreshed axle when you are done.

Out in the streets, they call it murder!
Personally, unless you can verify the rubber hoses are < ten yrs old or so, I'd replace them while I was at it, as already mentioned. Yep, regardless of a visual check.
I have purchased 2 sets from this seller.
This is THE lowest price you will find on oem bearings.

so i tried to replace the brakes and couldn't get the pins out. they're so rusted and frozen...jeez. so i have to replace the calipers. any suggestions?
Sorry I never called back...
You should be able to get rebuilt loaded calipers from Roadside Auto parts... or any "real" auto parts place. I THINK they will be massively $$$ at Toyota. Worth a call though...

Too long is generally better than too short.
I THINK... take stock line length, add your lift over stock amount to get you new brake line length... but I could be wrong... Anyone?

With Braided SS you have to be careful about too long causing a tight radius bend at some point in the cycling of the suspension, usually at full stuff.
If the price of braided are out of the budget there were NAPA p/n's and their lengths posted in the last couple of days.

not sure what "full stuff" or p/n's means. i was thinking about replacing the shackles soon to give me a little lift w/o getting big. will this still work? and how long is too long (same for short)

"Full Stuff" meaning completely compressed into the suspension bump stops.
"p/n" = part numbers.
"p/n" = part numbers.
