Default Disconnects & Brake Lines

I did a little digging and didn't find it, but somebody will probably reference a thread in about 2 minutes.

I have a pretty much Stock 07 2dr. Only suspension mods are Rubicon 4dr springs and shocks. I've also added a couple hundred pounds in armor, so i'm probably close to stock anyway. I'd like to put a set of quick disconnects on this spring. Do I need to worry about replacing my brake lines on the front at all?

Thanks for any input.

Nope. Your shocks will limit your down travel. Enjoy.

The front lines are fairly long. Even disconnected, you won't have any problems.

But if it makes you feel better, flex it and take a look. If you want a little added security, spend $10 at the hardware store and slap on some relo brackets.

I just put the jks quicker disconnects on my stock 2 door and it is awsome, there very strong and greasable, and you can replace parts of them if you ever have to, and with mine flexed all the way to where the tires come off the ground there is still alot of slack in my brake lines, oh and there udjustable from 0-2" of lift, enjoy
