I'm buying a 2" suspension Lift( Heavy Duty Kit ) , new wheel bearings and swapping from the stock 18" wheels to the 16".
I have a few questions:

Do I need to extend the brake lines for 2" Lift?

I see on Rovers North they sell the 16" rims for $ 98.00 w/ lug nuts, Is there another source to buy any cheaper, I don't mind used(good condition)

Any recommendations on wheel bearings, and lift? Brand, Seller, Quality, Price etc.....

Is there any little do dad's needed or nice to replace when doing a 2" lift on the D2's?
Thank ya

 

Where are you located?

 

Extended brake lines are not needed for a 2" lift.
But, stainless steel lines can make the pedal more firm, and make the brakes feel more responsive.
Ceramic embedded pads will also stop you in a shorter distance.

 

No need for longer brake lines with 2" lift.

Are you looking for steel rims or stock rims? Stock 16" rims are easy to find on craigslist. The Ohio LR Facebook group has steel rims for sale from time to time. Just join the group and you will find stuff all the time on their site.

Wheel bearings are just a buyer preference issue. Bought a wheel bearing off amazon for the 01, it's been fine so far (about 1000 miles).

I was wanting the steel , but I would definitely jump at stock 16's if at a good price. The bearing you got off amazon, That's where I was looking too. The prices seem good.
