Default 1.5 " lift kit.

Hi I have ordered teraflex 1.5 lift/level kit. (Part # 1351500) and I was wondering with adding a lift if I have to get different break line brackets or anything? The kit is 4 new springs and away bar links

If you retain the stock shocks you don't need to extend the brake lines because the down travel of the suspension will remain the same.

If I purchased shocks with a longer stroke( travel) would I have to extend the brake lines or what size lift would they have to be done at?

In most cases you will not need to extend your brake lines unless you buy shocks that are meant for a bigger lift or a long travel setup. I had to buy them with my 2.5 TF lift because I was running OME long travel shocks. Your shocks will be your limiting factor with the lift you are getting. Even with shock extensions, you will be fine. Your stock shocks will be just fine with that setup. You're GTG with the stock shocks and no brake line extensions.

If you are going with longer shocks you will need to start getting into alot of other things. Bumpstops coil retainers extended breather tubes and driveshafts to do it right (don't know your yr model transmission)
