Were the front brake lines long enough to flex with.

its the 3.5" kit. It rides great! im super happy with the kit. it is a little bit stiffer around potholes or rough road but that is to be expected. ive had a couple lifted vehicle and i think that this one rides great!

couldnt find much to flex on today.. the flexing that i did do looked like it had a bunch of room for the break lines though..

Looks cool. I just had the same lift installed on Friday. I'm in the market for wheels and 35's too. The lift gives you a lot more than 3.5 inches how much did you get. Did you measure prior to install. What shocks did you use. Your ride description sounds like mine also. Good choice.
