front brake line extensions for teraflex 2.5" coil lift?
edit: I want to order these TODAY if I go with them, so I will have all the parts arrive together - Thanks in advance
Hello. I will be installing this lift soon. I have a 2 door, but am installing the 4 door kit per the recommendation of David @ northridge. He says I do not need anything for the front. Just run the back bracket, and call it a day. I know that he knows what he is talking about, but am looking for more opinions. ( I want this to be complete and correct as possible )
He thinks I should end up with just over 3" in the front, and about 2.5" in the rear.
So I found a kit from Crown for (1"-2.5" lift) extended brake lines front and rear. Should I get these and skip the rear bracket? (their next kit says 3"-5" so I think those will be too long)
Like I said, I really am looking for this to be right this time
(for info. purposes - I also added front adj. trackbar, and front lower control arms. again, per David)
( 2007 rubicon 2 door hardtop, adding BFG Km2 - 285/70R17's on AEV Pintlers, Mopar front bumper, and Warn M8000)
Any info. is appreciated

dont need anything for the front if you use the teraflex shocks. the shocks will limit the drop before the brake lines snap. trust david, he knows his sh*t. although, i got more than 3" total lift from mine. you MAY want to add a front spacer because of the winch, but wait and see if you end up needing it.
my avatar is my old 2 door with this same kit. you can see the front drop and that is just the way the kit came.

yes, I am getting the teraflex shocks too.
So, I guess I will wait and see how it is. Thanks for the reply
Any others with the same (or different) opinions?

The TF reps on this site will tell you that a 2door using 4door 2.5" coils will get 4". A 4door using 4door coils will get 3". With your heavy bumper/winch, expect 3.5" or a bit more. There are plenty of old posts from 2door guys that will back up the 4" height, so plan accordingly.
