It seems no one knows. Most put a bracket on the rear but don't talk much about the front brake lines. Just wondering who had put longer ones on, and on what lift kit do they have.

Considering extended brake line kits aren't that expensive I would get them anyway. Northridge has a good price on a complete kit

It usually depends on the lift. If you are only doing a BB then you should be fine with the factory ones. You should replace them with any lift that puts strain on them or that will cause them to have to be disconnected from the frame mounts, especially in flex. Thats my and like someone else said, they aren't expensive so when in doubt...change them out!
