    Did some googling, couldn't find anything. Are there any members on here that make custom brake lines to the customers spec? I know there was a guy some time ago that did, but no longer responds to messages apparently. I'm looking for a pair of 29 inch long steel braided lines and can't come up with much.

    Crown. They have pre-made kits from 1-7" over stock but if you call you can get just a pair front or rear and whatever specs you want. I just ordered a pair of rears at +9" over stock 75 bucks shipped to my door and got to pick out the color I wanted.

    Great! I'll be contacting them soon. Good to know I can get just the rears done. I'm not adding them for added braking performance, just more travel. Fronts would just be extra credit in my case. Thanks for the help.

    Yeah man that's what I did when I first did my lift but now that I'm jumping up to 14" kings and chevy 63s I want a little more line. If you want I have a full set front and rear of theirs I'll sell you they are 6" over stock which is what I am running right now on my current lift.

    Funny thing, I'm getting parts gathered for the 63 swap myself. I'll be using 14 inch Bilsteins though for the time being. So you ordered +9" over stock for your setup?

    Yeah I did. The ones I got from Headstrong were +6" with my Deaver and B110 set up. There is still some room for them to flex but with 63s and 14" shocks I want to be on the safe side and would rather have 1" more to go than not at all. Plus I don't like that janky looking stacked washers or spacer for the bracket on the diff. It just seems too inviting for something to catch the hard lines or that bracket and mess you up. I figure that should be plenty for the flex I am expecting to get. +6" over stock is the 26" length +9" will be 29"

    63 swaps aren't cheap that's for sure. I am sure if I had a welder some time and a place to do it I could of saved money in not buying pre-made stuff. But it cost a lot more than people think because certain 63 springs are so cheap.

    I've priced it out at about 700 bucks with some premade parts and going with Bilsteins makes it a bit more affordable as well. Still not bad when you look at how much it would cost to buy off the shelf bolt ons to achieve the same travel.

    Yeah I went with a newer spring from 14-18 trucks it has a bit more arch they were pricey plus kings at 840 bucks then the ruff stuff kit and archive garage relocate it adds up. I spent more on the springs than most because I wanted to try something different. I broke it down for another member this may help you also with stuff the one thing I forgot in the list was the ruff stuff frame outriggers like 62 bucks

    Did you ever consider using the Ford shock towers instead the relocate kit? I'll either do that or just bend up some shock hoops.

    Yeah for all of like 30 sec. They are lower in the wheel well than the AG kit and will get you more down travel by a bit but I still want some up travel. If my calculations are right I should be right around 4-5" up travel and the rest down. If I went with the ford towers it would be an in less up travel or so.
