2" lift need need new brake lines?
Hi guys, I know probably a no brainer for some but I am going to go down the road of doing the suspension myself. Only a 2" inch lift. Will I need to get extended brake lines if it is 2" inch lift? I have been told in previous post I won't need correction castors so all I need is the shocks and springs right? I have been looking at EFS but haven't got a price but would it be better to chip in the extra $$$ for OME or is there a better alternative?
I am not looking to do anything too hard core. Help appreciated.

It might be an idea if you went flexi coils with longer shocks but if its just a standard 2" lift you don't need to extend the lines.

What is the difference between flexi and normal coils? Pros and cons?

flexi coils will give you longer travel downwards but would need say 4in shocks to go with them and you would need longer brakelines and diff breather hoses, 2in lift is just that will give you a bit more up travel but similar down travel and won't require either to be extended.
this is my understanding of the difference

3" flexi will look like 2" lift but flex as a 3" job

A 2" will ride at 2" but will flex like a 4" providing you have longer shocks to suit, with a standard 2" and using longer shocks the coils can drop out.

When I kill my shocks and coils ill be going down this path and extending my shock mounts also
