I have the hook up to make stainless brake lines. I need some advice though I plan on doing about a 4 inch lift in the future but one that will articulate like a mo fo. What lengths brake lines for the front and rear do you guys suggest:rolleyes:

Well, if it's going to flex like a mo fo, figure out how long, in inches, a mo fo is and add a few. :D

Actually, you should probably wait until you know how much flex you're going to have. Then max out on a RTI ramp or a forklift or something, and measure from mounting point to caliper. And of course, add roughly 2 inches for safety factor. If they're stong enough lines, they could actually be your limiting flex factor. I've heard of people having not-long-enough lines, and it just limits flex...but that is risking pulling the brake line apart. Better to have too long than too short.
