I have the RK 2.5" stock mod lift and love it so far. It did not come with any sort of bracket or line extensions for the brakes. I haven't been able to flex it very much yet but it seems that if I do the brake lines would get very tight. The fronts especially if I run disconnected. What is the best solution to go with, I know there are braided line extensions, there are brackets, etc, just want to know what the easiest / safest way to go without breaking the bank?

 

I'd say extended braided lines. Brakes are pretty important, not something you want to go too cheap on. I did them and now still want cross cut and drilled rotors.

 

Anybody have pics of their brake line routing with the 2.5" lift? I think I've seen that tie strap the line to the springs, but not sure if that's a good idea. Also what they may look like with some flex?

 

What did you do for shocks?

Brake line drop brackets are a decent solution for the rear if you only need 2".

 

I did the Bilstein 5100 shocks for the 2.5" lift. I thought maybe the brackets would be fine for rear, but am not sure on the fronts. I'm guessing I'll need brake line extensions

 

I'm running the RC 2.5" kit and couldn't use the frong extender it came with. The hard lines wouldn't bend far enough to match up... at least I didn't feel comfortable bending them that far. They're fine for street use right now but, extended front lines are on order and should be here by the weekend.

 

I followed this write-up to relocate the brake lines on my 2011 JK with a 3" lift. It cost me about $10 and a trip to Lowes.

I don't have a close-up of the brake lines under flex, but they survived this full droop on Saturday with room to spare.
