Extended rear brake lines on OME 2" lift
Folks, what are you using for those that have 2" lifts. I see most of whats offered in extended brake lines advertise 'from 3" - 6"' lift etc. I don't want to install something that's too long for what I have (OME HD coils - 2DR, got about 3" lift out of it).
Currently have brake line extension brackets but when the rear tire is tucked, the sway bar plows into the hard line -- something about this just isn't giving me warm and fuzzys so I'm thinking about going to extended lines and want to see what y'all are running with.
TIA.

It's not just te size of the lift you need to look at. OME make their standard shocks for a 2" lift where u do not need longer brake lines, they also make LT shocks where u will need longer brake lines, and they Los do a mid travel set for the front. I believe Crown make brake lies in different lengths.
One issue is that most re brake lines are 26 or 27" long, which is about right for a LT shock, but a little long for a 2" lift.

Go to lowes, by a piece of flat bar for 7 bucks, and 4 bolts, nuts, and washers for 3. Use your grinder to cut it into 4 pieces. Drill 8 holes, and put it in your vice and give it a little bend. spray paint black. Install. Done. 47 dollars plus shipping saved.
