Yea i need new brake lines too. Im maxing my stockers out even with relocated lines. Those 5150's should do just fine.

I bit the bullet and ordered these http://www.jeep4x4center.com/crown-i...rake-lines.htm 6" over stock. I heard wrangler lines would fit and they are 3" longer and some dodge dakotas also.

Well i was lucky enough to score those longarms cheap so i said hell with it, might aswell do everything else right haha. And tomorrow is payday for me so that helps too.

Yeah man they are on there, everything else is giving me a problem. i had a good time tonight cutting off those lca brackets. my dad brung over the torch and even that didn't want to cut because of the undercoating stuff.

Got them off though, going to clean it up with the grinder tomorrow. Also gonna weld my crossmember to the frame tomorrow since it's a 3 piece and i want some insurance.

I doubt it will be man. I got everything cleaned up and torqued down today. Threw a coat of bedliner on my innerfenders aswell. About to go weld my crossmember here in a second. My brakelines haven't even shipped yet though. It really aggrivates me when one small thing takes a long time to ship and holds me back from driving this thing.

Sorry about that buddy, Jeep wasn't ready and i ended up getting called into work the entire weekend. All the elbow grease work is done, still waiting on damn brakelines!!!! I'm royally po'ed at how long it is taking for them. I appreciate the offer though man, we'll get another weekend planned up here before long.

Got the brakelines installed and disco'ed the shocks and measured for new ones.

I orded my shocks last night. I just got some cheap 12" travel whitebodies for now to serve as a test dummy. Should be here next week.

Enjoy.
