ss = stainles steel. you need a pair of extended stainless steel brake lines. since you already did the u joint conversion on the rear drive shaft you are good to go. Do you plan on installing HD bumpers, winch, sliders, diff guards? the only time i see a problem with my front and rear sway bars removed is under heavy braking. if i slam the brakes at highway speeds the truck sways back and forth. you can buy quick disconnects if you plan on going off road with your daily drive. you can always take them off and see how it rides and put them back on if you don';t like the ride. my lift was 2 1/4" and the anti-sways really kept the suspension tight and when i hit a bump it was teeth jarring. now it is a lot better with them out. but my truck isnt my DD either it's a trail rig.

 

Stainless steel... should have been obvious i guess. I already have front bumper replaced (minus the winch til i get some $$) with plans for the rest of the way around (sliders, rear bumper, diff guards, fuel plate) going to try to fab myself... should be interesting. thanks for the info.
