    I'll be installing my AP Standard leaf pack soon and was wondering if I needed longer brake lines. If I do what does everyone use or best bang for my buck? Also is there a specific length I need to oblige by?

    Thanks guys in advance for the info!

    A lift, some wheels, some tires, some performance, some cosmetic and then audio.
    If you fully flex then yes I would consider it. Wheelers Offroad has them for less than $60 a set for the rear.

    Your down travel depends on the max length of the shock.

    If you use stock length shocks or 5100s then they will prevent your brake lines from being stretched.

    If you have longer shocks or shock extenders then you need longer brake lines.

    Awesome this makes total sense! Initially I will run stock length shocks but upgrading shortly after! I'm thinking of just biting the bullet and just replacing the brake hoses during the leaf pack installation...
