Longer brake lines ?

Putting a Eibachs pro stage 2 suspension on this next week. If I stay under 2" will I need extended brake lines ? Also was thinking about there 1" blocks for the rear. I have never ran blocks and if it were more then an 1" I wouldn't even consider them. The add a leaf is another option but only come in 1.5 " of lift and I don't want that much or a stiffer ride. INPUT!

 

No to brake lines.

AAL over a block every time and twice on Sunday.

 

No brake line change is needed

 

Kind of what I was thinking. I went ahead and ordered the AAL because I do hull stuff at times. I think on my 2nd gen I used a combo of one leaf from the AAL and kept my overload and it gave me a little more lift and better ride then the AAL pack and removing overload. Can't remember it's been awhile. I only want 1.5" lift in front but if I remember correctly I went a little higher because after alignment and break in period it settled.

 

One more question . Will the pinion angle change enough with a AAL that I need to look at angle shims ? I forgot what the exceptable angle or degree range is for drivelines.

 

Nada, the change is minimal for pinion angle. If you are still running bolt in shocks, you shouldn't need brake lines like said above. One thing I do on some kits I install, is bend the brake line bracket on the axle slightly so the hardline/softline connection isn't pointed towards the ground. Gives the brake lines another inch or two of travel.

 

As long as you are using OEM or OEM replacement shocks, your suspension travel doesn’t change enough to require extended brake lines. Basically all you are changing is where the suspension sits at rest within the stock range of travel. The max and min points remain the same.
