Extended Brake Lines
I'm about to put a 2.5" Rock Krawler system on my JKU. I know that most people say I do not need to extend brake lines, but I'd rather be safe than sorry. Would it be acceptable to buy more brake line than I need, so in the future I don't have to replace them again if I decide to up the size lift. I'm currently looking at Toxic Brake lines, does anyone have any other suggestions?

On my rear lines, I had drop brackets from an old lift and then went to a metalcloak lift. Even with the drop brackets, the lines were too short at full droop. Obviously, coil length matters and shock travel, but I'd caution you to test line length after you put the lift on.

Appreciate all the help guys.
From just searching the internet, it does not appear there is to much difference between brake lines. Cost is going to be around $125-$130 for 4 and the quality will probably be about the same. Is that pretty much true?
