i have the same mods but im running toyo mts 35s and i can tell you that the geiser springs are wayyy stiffer than stock springs, to me the stock was wayy to soft i didnt like it, i wanted it stiffer but after getting the geisers installed it was a huge difference in stiffness of the springs, thats how its able to raise the front of the truck 2.5 inches with a stiffer spring, so if you want your truck to ride softer than stock this is not the mod you would ever want to do in my opinion. on smooth roads its great but on bumps or bumpy roads you really feel the stiffness difference.
How long have you had your geiser’s installed? Did they get softer with time?

No you do not need to change the brake lines unless you add extended length shackles.

Will longer rear lines be needed with rpg drop shackles and deaver +3? I can’t find any info. Thanks

Stock shocks will most likely be your full droop stopper! Most aftermarket shocks have additional travel.

I would check myself, rather be safe:

If you have an adjustable receiver hitch and jack, chock the front tires and jack the truck until the rear wheels leave the ground and check the brake lines at full droop. Easy enough to do in 10 minutes.

The stock shocks will be fine. Going with +3 Deaver with a shackle to drop it back to factory height will only increase articulation

Your increasing droop with extended length shackles as deavers have a greater arch, weigh more than the standard leafs.
