BDS is sold at our favorite local offroad shop for $25 each and probably got 14" travel ones in stock cause that's what jacked up superduties use. They pulled mine out of an 8" lift kit.

Bought springs today from Gordon's. They have 3 leaves plus overload. Going Monday to Custom Fabricators to buy some steel. Quick question: Am I going to need to extend brakelines? Again, the springs will give around 2-3" of lift.

its not so much the lift...its the downtravel that will extend your brakelines. On mine, there is one single line that goes from the passenger frame to the passenger side of the axle. There was a bolt that held it down to the axle and the holder on the frame...i cut with a torch so now it just hangs loose. I wouldn't bother with extended brakelines cause they're $$$. I know you want it to look clean so why don't you unbolt it all and use little springs maybe? When are you planning on doing the swap? I'd like to lend a hand or just watch.

Mario,
It'll probably be sometime after the break, but definitely before we go to Mason again.

i heard bryan hose and gasket makes brakelines and it would cost you like 25 bucks is what someone told me they paid for their longer rear lines. i ll help to

How are you planning on mounting shocks? Long shocks in the stock location or / \? if you mount em / \ you'll only have to buy like 9" travel shocks.(which is less effective but looks cooler)

Long shocks in the stock location. Trying to keep this as simple and cheap as possible.

Hence, if the brakelines don't need to be extended, then they won't be.

I think I am going to use the procomp ES 3000's. The set will cost bout 110-120.

how's about you look on Pirate, Yotatech, and ttora and find out *from people who have done it* how to extend your brake lines cheaply.
Do it.
Then write up on it here!

yeha but if you angle your shocks like / \ so then doesnt it flex better. Thats what i have heard from alot of bronco people. Just my . 02.
