stoopid q - extended brake lines

disco147 · Oct 16, 2012

Probably a bit of a stupid question but i've been thinking,

I got some +5 shocks on the way and got some +2" HD Bearmach springs and dislocation cones ready to go on... my question, to get my 35" tyres on I'm gonna need a 2" suspension lift and a 2" body lift going by what I've read on the forum... I got some +2" spring spacers that i'm gonna put on for now until I get a body lift kit but I'm thinking... will I need +4" extended brake lines because surely +2" brake lines will be over stretched on articulation? If so where do you get em from? Or will +2" brake lines do the trick ok?

Done a search and not really found anything definitive...

also how essential are extended bump stops? Will I get away with running with out them for a couple of weeks and a bit of light P+P or is it best to do them at the same time...

its the same price for +2" and +4" so go with 4. since your lifting the body 2 and sus 2.

if you've got extended shocks you'll need the bigger bump stops so you don't bottom out the shocks and knacker them, also the 35's would use your wheel arches as a bump stop as well

I thought that'd be the case with the bump stops... with the brake hoses though, have you got a link? The only brake hoses I can find that are more than 50mm are 4" ones from that states at $320 + shipping :screaming_bug_eye_f

dunno if i'm baffling myself un-necessarily about something really very simple (i suspect this is the case) but i'm normally pretty good at this workin stuff out for meself malarky!

If your going with just a 2 inch lift you'd need some +2 shock mounts too or under full compression your shcoks will be bottoming out
