    Hey all, longtime lurker here, this is my first post.
    I think I've finally figured out what I want to do with the lift in the front, but I had a question about the brake lines.

    With the 5100's set at 1.75" and the top spacer giving me another 1.25" of lift, I should get a full 3" but still retain more travel in the shocks.
    Will that extra travel be too much for my stock brake lines? It will push the wheels past their stock fully extended distance correct?

    A bunch a cool stickers, a bada ass MetalMiller Tx Longhorns grill emblem painted Hemi Orange, JBA long tube headers with o2 sims, Diff breather mod, Red LED interior lights, Fancy head unit that plays ipod n movies, Also DIY install factory stuff like, factory cruise control, factory intermittent wipers, OME nitro struts with 886x springs and toy tec top plate, JBA high caster UCA's for better alignmnet and dey beefier too, Old Man Emu Dakar leaf springs in da rear with the gear, U bolt flipper, Ivan Stewart TRD rims with 33" K Bro 2's, some bad ass weather tech floor liners so I don't muck up my interior, an ATO shackle flipper for mo travel in da rear wit the gear, also super shiny Fox 2.0 shocks back there too, all sorts of steal armor for bouncing off of the rocks like demello sliders, AP front skid, trans skid, n transfer skid, demello gas tank skid, and a tough as nails ARB bumper with warn 8k winch, I'm sure there's more

    Stock front brake lines will be fine with a mid travel lift, it's the rear lines that take the most abuse with a lift. But you can just space the rear brake line bracket to gain some extra length vs replacing the lines.

    Thanks for the quick reply. I just installed the wheelers offroad 2" AAL in the back, and I really need to bring the front up!

    3 inches up front and you are fine. I think two in the back is the limit. Anymore lift than that and you need longer lines.
