    Question for people with this kit, what length brake lines are you running? Specifically I have all-pro standards in the rear.

    I went with the All pro extended rear brake lines and had plenty. With Expos and fully drooping out the rear, my brake lines were pretty tight. Could PROBABLY pull off stock lines on the standards, but peace of mind spend the $40 or whatever. I wanna say they are 26"?

    All-Pro's are 24" I think. I just got a set of 23", just want to check and make sure they will be long enough.

    Oh then yea, they should work just fine. Even flexing out the drivers side I still had slack in the lines

    I got a pair of all pro extended brake lines and have been sitting on the shelf for over a year now! I adjusted the stock brake lines on top and put in a bracket extension on the bottom about 1.5-2" higher on the axle side while pointing the brake lines up instead of strait back WI h you lose a lot of slack with already. With my 12" travel bilstein they fully extend without an issue so I didn't have a reason to change my lines and blend the brakes. I can see you needing new extended lines if you want to upgrade performance- front and rear to get rid of the stock lines or if you're running 14" or longer travel shocks

    Thanks for the input everyone I appreciate it. I'm going to install my 23"s from @OCTaco on Thursday.

    Do the Chevy 63s flex enough to need 28"? Lol

    I know it's relatively vehicle dependant, but in general how much more uptravel do you guys get? I currently have all pro standard leafs, fox 2.0 with resis, and wheelers super bumps. Sadly I only have around 2 inches before I start to hit my bumps. I am looking at getting this, then either king or icon bump, and possibly sua.

    Your bump stops and springs determine the amount of up travel you get this kit is only to mount longer shocks if your hitting your bumps now you will hit your bumps in the same spot with installing this kit.

    Right... But because I have "normal" length shocks now, the bumps are set to prevent my shocks from bottoming out. If I got 12 in shocks, relocated them, and installed king or icon bumps further up, I could possibly get more up travel?

    My rear just can't keep up with my mid travel front, so I am exploring all of my options. I don't necessarily need more flex, I just want smoother and most likely more bump travel. I know sua would definitely help. I am looking at less costly and involved options which could help. Plus if I relocated, I could still use this for a future sua set up, without having to go through the bed.

    Yes, especially since All Pro Standards max out at 12" of travel

    You can set the lower mounts to just about any angle so you can adjust the amount of up shock travel. Most of the ones I've installed we set it at around 5" of up that was a guess as not one single customer wanted to pay us to pull apart the leaf pack and check for proper up travel.
