Default Extended brake lines

I have a 3 inch lift and my brake lines are pretty taught. I have 2”+ shocks installed as well. The 2” extended lines that AB and L8 sells don’t seem like they will be long enough. Any suggestions on a place to get 3”+ lines? I will have extended sway bar links with disconnects to I want to only purchase once. I have used google to search this site but couldn’t find my answer.

I went with the Britpart +6" lines and will be adding them to my other disco as well (that one is running +2 or +3" lines and I don't think it's enough). Both rigs are 3+" of lift and no sway bars. The Britpart lines are no more expensive than the other stainless lines.

Thank you for the info. How are the Britpart lines? I am usually leery of using parts from them.

Happy so far, not a whole lot to brake lines but I did not have any concerns putting them in nor have any fitment issues.

Don't forget to extend your ABS Sensor wires as well

It helps to have those hang loose but I routinely rip out my rears as I haven't extended mine yet. It's on the list....lol

This is on my list as well. Looks like the fronts have plenty of slack if needed. I have new front bearings coming so my plan is to use the abs sensors from the old front hubs in the rear.
