maybe not you can get a relocation bracket but i would go ss braided lines just cause they give better stopping as well as are longer plus they look cool

When I put my 3" lift on I simply straightened out the bent section of hard line and then drilled and mounted the brake line bracket lower on the frame. Seems to do the trick up front. Your back lines stock should be plenty long. Obviously there are advantages to the new lines (as a1racer stated above).
