    I plan to do a 2 inch lift to the front on my 17 TRD offroad and a 1.5 on the rear. I think the brake lines on the rear does not need to be replaced with longer ones but I'm not certain on the front. Can someone let me know?

    It depends on what type of modification you are doing to your front suspension, but typically people are not increasing their suspension down travel, so extended brake lines are not necessary.

    If you want a more definite answer, jack your truck up until both wheels are off the ground and inspect your brake lines.

    Sounds like a good idea to see the droop. Btw I will do a 2.5 fox coil suspension for the front and add a leaf for the rear.

    Did you get the lift done? Run into any issues?

    No issues with j66 Deavers and tundra 2.5 rear foxes. I was about a 1.5 inch lift.

    A lift does not change your factory limitations so no new brake lines are needed. If you installed shock relocation with longer shocks that extended beyond stock then you would need longer brake lines.
