Hi All,
im looking at putting in my 2" body lift today, ive done a bit of a search and it hasnt come up with anything.
what i need to know if, can i do the body lift, and get the brake lines extended down the line, say a few days?
or will the lines be to short and not fit after ive done the lift.
if all that is to confusing what im trying to say is i want to do the lift, and be able to drive to the brake place in town as i would like to leave the car with them so they get things right, dont have alot of confidence in some of the shops where i live
ive got a just_cruzin lift to
Ad's

If your not going off road, you should be fine, just make sure that you can turn lock to lock with out ANY tension on the line`s before going & the rear has no tension.

When you do a body lift you don't have to extend any brake lines.
The ones near the booster. You can get away with just moding the bracket

x2. The instructions are pretty clear on what needs to be done.

If you own a coily, the front passenger side one need extending, as the line passes through a bush in the body, not chassis. You could dodge it up, but then again, that might be dangerous. $75 at somewhere like ABS should fix it.
