4" Lift + Stock Brakelines
I'm running a 4 inch lift and have the stock brakelines... The kit includes a drop braket for the brakelines... Do I have yo change my front brakelines when I disconnect the swaybar?

I tried a line relocation bracket kit, and there was no way the hardlines were going to be repositioned that far. And that was only the OME HD springs. I'd go with new ines.

I'm running OME HD's + spacers, appx 4" up front, 3" rear. Even with the extended lines, I yanked a rear line off the frame. ($5 at the hardware store to add some extension brackets to my extended brake lines was the way to go for me)
As Planman suggested, flex it and check 'before' you get out on the trail.

I probably should go ahead and buy new brake lines, but with the 4" Superlift I've been running, i've had just enough slack for full flex on the front and no issues. Only done it a couple of times so I can't be sure how it will hold up over time. Its one of my next "to do's"

If you do go with new lines make sure they are not rubbing. I ran with them for 4K miles and one day as I was leaving the neighborhood I lost all brakes. Make sure they are not RUBBING!!!!
