Default Swapping d30 & d44, worth changing brake lines?

Doing a pretty big project swapping out both the d30 and d44 and putting in Dynatrac pro rock d44 and pro rock 60 in rear...

3" lift, is it a good idea to have stock brake lines swapped out for longer stainless steel braided ones?

Why would you not take this chance to do it while you're already in there? You're already making the axles bulletproof, so why not spend a couple bucks and swap out the brake lines.

You might as well. Could always do it down the road too, the new lines are a very quick and easy install.

That's what I was thinking, should I get ones to match my lift or is is there any problem getting them a little bit longer? I can't think of any reason not to get them a bit longer

So long as they won't get snagged on anything then I don't see why you couldn't go a little longer. I'm sure you want to make sure you can flex all the way out without using the brake line as a limiting strap.
