Extended brake hoses was created by Laminak

Hi all

I have just installed a 2" lift kit and I would like to know if there exists a rule for calculate the extended brake hose length.
for example: origine length +10cm for a lift up to 5"...

Thanks

With 2" lift you dont need extended brake lines. If you remove your anti-roll bar then you might need them as when fully articulated, they risk being pulled

I did a 2" lift and ran for 6 months with no dramas. I removed my ARB and noticed during a flex test with a forklift that whilst they probably would've been ok, they were at risk of being damaged.

None of the extended brake lines supplied will be too short.

I'm also wondering this. How much longer than standard should they be be x inches of lift.
Here in South Africa it's basically a third of the price to have lines made or extended.
