Default Brake line brackets with 2.5" lift?
Do I need front brake line relocation brackets with a 2.5" lift? I have a Rubi, and I'm affraid to use the e-discos...

If yes, where can I buy brake line relocation brackets?

Rear brake lines drop brackets come with some of the brands of 2.5 lift kits.

with just 2.5" of lift, no, you will not need anything to address your front lines

If it turns out that you do need them, you can make them easily from hardware store parts.

With the OME 2.5" lift, the rear were stretched to the max at full drop. Actually keeping the axle from dropping further . Wayoflife is probably correct for the front (I did not verify) but you will run into issues with the rear.

Just in case this isn't clear to you: If you plan to wheel much, you should use them on the rear axle. See the other thread previously linked for various options.
