Break lines and lift on a 3rd gen
IM about to put in my Revtek tommrow morning. And I am wondering if Im gonna run into any problomes with the break lines being to short???Just a reminder that I have a 1997 2wd 3.4L I can buy the stainless steel lines locally but they are off a tacoma and are made for 6 inch lifts in the front. If I gotta replace the lines, will the Tacoma 94.5-03 braided break lines fit????

The reason for lifting is that I got the wrong offest rims. The 16x8 on BF A/t ko 265/70/r16 rub. So I lifted the truck. I always wanted to lift ir. Here on Oahu, HI there are hardly any 4wd roads. So a 2wd pre-runner setup is just a step below ideal. The kit did not come with extended break lines? Where can I buy some braided steel ones?

I never extended my brakelines with ~3 inches of lift, and never had any trouble. If you have the money, do it, but I don't think its absolutely necessary.
