What did you do to extend your brake lines?
Actually, I haven't had to extend the brake lines yet....that would be the only thing keeping me from flexing further. That's one of the next projects.

I didn't take any pics..but also did the diy quick discos.

I've decided that I need to do the same thing. Please let me know when you end up switching for longer ones - maybe we can do both vehicles at the same time. I've learned that Crown Industries is sort of the standard, but both Currie and Rusty's sell the same high-end lines (built to their own specs) for much, much cheaper.

Actually, I was looking on Rusty's offroad page today and they sell a kit that relocates the stock brake line brackets and gives you a little more clearance for only $10. That might be my temporary fix..... But, it doesn't specify a vehicle model. I may give them a call and see what they say.

If the shocks you bought are truly for a 4" lift, I promise you that you need longer brake lines, not just a relocation bracket.

Well...they are for a 4" lift...i may price some and see how much they are. Right now, I don't think my bump stops would let them get too tight though. If I eventually get some taller springs, then I would HAVE to have them.

Sorry the photo quality wasn't quite there, but you should get the general idea of what I do when I'm at the mall!
Looking good man
