    So I just ordered the 3 inch OME lift with Dakar leafs and I remember reading somewhere I’ll need extended brake lines. I’m not exactly sure if I need them for the front and the rear or just the rear. And as far as my research has gone I’ve found you can buy a kit with 2 front and 1 rear. Does the rear only have 1 brake line? I thought that was a little odd but I’m not 100% sure what’s all going on down there. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

    You’re correct two front, and one rear.

    Make sure you bleed the LSPV when you replace them. Everyone forgets the LSPV.

    Yes. You need longer brake lines with most lifts.

    There was a guy selling steel braided brake lines here a few years ago. I got them and they are fantastic. Find the thread?

    I bought some SS lines for the front from Rock Auto that I was happy with.

    Extender rear SS from Wheelers in pretty red was nice too

    When I had an OME setup I left the front lines stock and and added an extended SS line for the rear from wheelers offroad.
