I'm gona go with most definately. Overall your looking at 5" approx of lift.

Rethink. Body lift wont effect it as the hose run from chassis to axle. Good springs will be approx 3". Still fairly sure you'll need extended hoses.

best post in the wanted section then lol
thanks butt

[hamer]

so 2" would be the maximum without extending?

[Jordi]

It's that long since i changed mine i can't remember how much allowance you have before you need to extend them. Fairly sure it's not much.

As my old ones were perished and i didn't know what plans i had i replaced all flexi pipes with braided s/s at +3". On the side of safety i would say what ever lift is fitted extended by that much so they have the same amount of play left in them.

Wait a while and the others will give a more accurate answer.

dave at http://www.llama4x4.com/page5.htm does extended brake lines

[Jordi]

As said. Llama 4x4. Speak to dave he'll do them any length you want. Think it was £85 for all 5 for mine. That was two fronts and one rear at +3" and the two in the wing at standard length.
