Default Anybody change their brake lines?

I just installed an OME lift and the tension on the brake lines at full droop is very concerning. I was thinking of ordering a set of crown industrial from Quadratec. Anyone use these before?

I'm with you. I have a 3" lift and even though my kit came with longer brake lines for the front and relocation brackets for the rear I didn't feel comfortable, so I ordered a set(Crown) and they arrived yesterday(from Quadratec). Blood red I'll be installing mine this coming weekend One of my wheeling buddies has set already installed and he is very happy

I'll post some pics of my brake lines when they are installed.

I have them.

Bought them from Dave at Northridge4x4.com got them very quickly. Already flexed them and there arent any issues. Off road they are strong and fight abrasion, and damage.

Thanks for everyone's reply. What is the procedure for installing them and then bleeding the brake lines? Thats the only part that scares me some.
