How much?

I believe the ones off a long bed J10 or J20 are longer and work good for lifts on GW's

I'm assuming that your lifting your rig and that's why you need the longer lines. I installed the 6" Rusty's on "Woooooof" and here is what I did to salve that problem.

1. I moved the brackets to the rear by 3". The ones located inside the frame rail just b4 the frame narrows into the engine area.

2. I then welded about a 6" extention piece in the adjuster arm. The next time I do this which will be soon on "Woooof II", I am going to use a steal rod and cut threads on one end. The rod is way stronger than all-thread and this will be easier than welding a piece on to lengthen it.

I thought about buying longer lines but that costs more and just replacing them would have been about as labor intensive. The J truck lines have been used by others here and I'll let them explane the in's and out's of doing that. Good luck.

i used J-10 (I believe from a long bed) lines but they are way too long.. I think the best method would be to cut the post off and weld it back farther.. that's what most others have done and they a haven't had any problems..
