Extended brake lines for 1" lift?

This may be a dumb question, but do I need to add extended brake lines for a 1" lift?

I have a 2004 DC Tacoma 4x4. I'm installing the Bilstein 5100 adjustable struts up front on the .85" lift setting and ToyTec 1" lift shackles with the Bilstein 5100 shocks in the rear.

 

You should be fine without extended lines.

 

you should be fine

I havent put my extended lines in yet

 

Not for 1" of lift.

 

Didn't think so, but was't sure. Thanks guys.

 

At what point are the extended brake lines needed.. 2", 3" ?? And along those same "lines", what is the max height before other mods are needed? UCA, diff drop, etc. ??

Thanks

 

im have been running about 3" lift with no issues and no ext brake lines.....

When I spoke to Dan at Wheeler's about it he said that up to 3" is fine as long as you're not doing any serious flexing while off road. Don't think normal driving travel is going to be a problem.

 

I you still run stock shocks in the rear, they will limit
your droop, so its not necessary to extend the line.

If you replace the shocks with longer ones to enable
more droop, then you definitely should extend the rear brake line.

 

I got a 2inch lift with original break lines and it's fine. Once you go over 3 inches or if you do serious off roading is when you need the extended lines.

 

I put the Wheeler's 5-pack on. 1.5 of lift. At full droop, the stock line was strained. I was suprised. If you offroad at all, I strongly suggest you jack it up and do a droop test in youre driveway and see what the line does. Each truck can be a little different. Check yours to be sure. Losing your brakes unexpectedly from a broken line is not something you want.

 

Where is everyone getting extended lines from? Does Stoptech, Gates, Russel, goodridge or any others make extended lines for us?

 

Thread Revival FAIL!

 

How do you know that its time to install the extended lines? I have an OME lift with additional 1 inch spacer and i dont feel that the brakes are strong enough to stop the truck on short distances? Will extended lines fix that for example? Sorry if it sounds dumb..

 

have you ever thought about putting new brakes on . no extended brake lines wont do a thing to make your brakes stronger. When was the last time you've changed your brakes front and rear.

 

Bumping an old thread. Got goodridge 2" extended lines- looks great.

For a 1" lift up front, the OE lines seem to have enough slack, but for the rear, when on the lift with OE suspension, the OE brake line was taught.
