Does a 4-4.5" lift require longer brake lines?

I am looking to modify the 3.5" lift kit I have on my truck now to make a 4-4.5" lift. I already have longer sway bar links, a drop pitman arm, and trac bar. But will I need to get longer brake lines for the front if I go up to 4.5" high?

Thanks

You should be good but I think thats about the limits of them. On my 05 truck the brake and vacuum lines are pretty much at their limits when the truck is on the lift and the front end hangs free.

With some creativity to the hard line and mounting bracket you should be able to get it to work though without having to buy new lines.

Yes don't need them but adding a 5 line SS kit will give you a firmer feel and the old rubber ones swell as they get old.

PM me if you would like prices on a 5 line kit..
