    3" lift EIBACH coils w/ 5100's front, OME/ Dakar leaf springs w/ toytec adjustable shackles at 1.5" and 5125's out back. 33x10.5x15 KM2's Relentless DIY steel bumper.
    Trying to figure out if I need longer brake lines if I add around 1"-2" rear lift shackles? I ordered the ToyTec adjustable shackles :D so I can adjust the rear ride height to my liking. I have DAKARS that provide around 2.25" of lift. So would going up to about 3.25" - 3.75" of total lift on the rear require longer brake lines? If I do need them, is it a difficult job on a 1st gen?

    I'm a 2001, 2WD (prerunner) TRD SR5 DCSB.

    Thanks

    Yes. get the longer brake line. You might be fine with the stock one on the road but if you flex the suspension at all it could stretch and pop the brake line. With the lift you have and the longer shackles I would definitely get the longer brake line in the rear.
