Default Brake Lines for 2" inch lift

Looking for a part# or Year/Model that can accommodate a 2" lift.

Should the brake lines be at least 3" longer to compensate for extension on the shocks?

How long do I need the lines to be?

i don't think you need longer brakes for a 2" lift, or longer shocks. i didn't change any of that when i was at 2"

you dont ned to change them for 2" but if you would like to get factory brake lines off a 95 yj/wrangler. They are the exact same/direct bolt in just 3" longer. got mine from napa for cheap.

I run 3" lift and no issue with too short of BLs. You can relocate your brake line braket inside your fender a few inches further down. Thats only in the front though.

For the rear you can use a 95 older wrangler direct bolt on 2 inches longer
