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.

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.

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.
