Are Longer Brake Lines Needed?

When doing a 3" spacer lift up front and an AAL in the rear, are extended brake lines needed?

 

Depends. If you plan to do offroading...then yes i would be getting extended lines. If its going to stay on roads....its 50/50. I would do it at some point but not something you had to do right this second or risk damage type thing

 

Thank You

 

If off-road could be expected to cause a problem, then couldn't an unexpected problem -- although unusual -- happen on-road?

 

How often do you fully articulate your suspension on pavement or float a tire over an obstacle?

If the spacer is one that goes under the top hat and preloads the coil, you won't need extended brake lines since the range of motion is the same as stock. If it's on top of the top hat, you should consider getting them since it will allow your front tires to droop more. In the rear, if you are still using stock length shocks, you won't need new lines since they are still the droop limiter so your lines can't be stretched any more than in stock configuration.

 

If the OP is going off-roading then I hope a 3" spacer lift isn't his final option.

Turns out the spacer lift is way back ordered and with all the negative feedback I have seen since I ordered it, I cancelled it. Want to do a toytec billy lift but they too can't be found. Might have to do a OME 3" kit

 

OME is good. Light years better than spacer lift.

 

Why wouldn't you?

They are inexpensive and offer nothing but benefits, Longer for more suspension flex, Steel braided for better pedal response.

 

I just got off the phone with wheelers and spoke to Dan. I'm only getting a 1.5in icon progressive AAL in the rear and he said wouldn't need it. Only recommended for major flexing and since I've only been off-roading once and it wasn't major flexing just dirt trails. I decided to not get it yet. But I'll prob be getting them on in the future once I upgrade my brakes.
