    I'd like to get some extended brake lines to accommodate more suspension down travel. I'm thinking +4" rear and +1 or 2 front. All the searching I did here seems to link back to the same Buy/Sell/Trade thread by the member who used to make them but isn't around anymore. So... where are you guys getting your extended brake lines now?

    I see Headstrong Offroad has just what I'm after, but they don't ship to Canada. Wheelers has +4" rears, but I couldn't find any extended fronts.

    My current OME rear shocks don't allow enough down travel for it to be an issue, but I'm about to upgrade to the BAMF shock tower relocation and some 12" kings in the rear. Conveniently I'm also due for brake pads and rotors and it's probably time for some fresh brake fluid, so I'd like to just do it all at once. I don't -need- extended fronts yet, but I'd like to get the extended travel front kings in the future and I'd rather not replace brake lines twice.

    Good to know. Although, that sets me back more. I haven't seen any extended brake lines longer than +4 :(

    OME and worth every penny.
    No hydraulic shop in your hometown? Usually whoever is fixing forklifts and semi trailers make them.

    Pretty small town, but I'm sure somebody is fixing that stuff. I'll look into who.

    What length would you recommend for the BAMF kit? +6 or so?
    Thanks. Quite close to what I'm after. It sounds like I'll need more than +4" though

    I reached out to Headstrong Off-road and found that they are able to ship to Canada, just their website isn't set up to quote shipping automatically so you have to call/email/PM. They're able to order custom lengths too, although they have to check if the manufacturer is still producing in these coronavirus times.

    Also, I believe Headstrong's brake lines come from Crown. So triple win.
