Rear Brake Line(s)

hey guys, i have dropped the money on almost everything needed for my bilstein/eibach lift. i have the eibach coils and aal leaf for the rear, shocks just got ordered today, along with the differential drop, now i need to know about this extended rear brake line, is it mandatory to get? i want my truck to function properly, how many do i need? just one or two? and also about the BPV bracket... make one? or buy one?

 

Are you planning on fully flexing your rear suspension? If not, you can get away w/o installing extended rear brake lines. BPV depends on how much lift you are planning for the rear. My 1.5" Wheelers 5 pack was paired with OME BPV but it caused problems cause the bracket was meant for more rear lift then I got so it was causing the brakes to lock up so I ordered on from BAMF and it was perfect.

 

I have the Bilstein 5125's

8 and 8 1/2" shock travel (up to 3" of lift)

I have not extended the single rear brake line to the axle.
But it probably should be.
Tho' not mandatory... my advice would be to do it regardless

The shock's travel lengths will determine how far the axle will droop.
If using longer shocks... it may droop farther...
and so a visual will be necessary.

When I'm working on my rear axle... removing leaf paks etc.
I am at the very limit of my Rr. brake line.
if I'm not careful... I could fubar that line when doing work.

Bottom line...
extending the length of the Rr brake line is just a smart plan.
