Koni 82's - Brake line spacer front passenger side

So basically if you've fitted 3" shocks into a 2" lift you'll first up need to extend your bump stops before you turn those lovely new tubes inside out..
If your worried about brake line length then it's probably a good idea to upgrade to a longer line.. while your at it a braided kit..

But if they are shocks suited to a 2" lift then I can't see the issue..
Stock lines are fine but fit spacer if you like..
All you'll do it undo the top bolt, remove bolt, lift block and insert the spacer and insert new bolt..
No need to bleeding or draining etc..
2 min job..
13mm spanner or socket.

It's only 2" shocks with stock coils.

I was also thinking the same on braided lines. Not checked any prices yet, if affordable will get it done. I heard that the brake response better..!

As it involves removing the existing lines it would be a mechanic install not mine, so I need to include that price too.

Safe Brake (sponsors) I think we're very affordable..
I think Winnie got a set.

I went to a brake place and had approved custom covered braided lines for around $50 - $60 each, depending on the length.

I didn't get all of mine done - only the main lines, and I then waited for my 40k service and fitted it just before, as I thought that if I missed any air in the lines, they were about to get new fluid throughout anyway. Easy enough to change over - just need the right spanners. If you do it yourself, make sure that you that you use the flare nut type spanners, so you don't round off any of the nuts or fittings.

Make sure that you add some extra brake fluid to the master cylinder, remove the old, and attach the new at the body end first, and let the fluid gravity drip through to the bottom end then connect the bottom end, and bleed brakes normally. This will keep air to a minimum.
