4.5 rc. it came with drop brackets but they do nothing went to flex it out and if i dident check woulda defs broke it. i never checked the back brake line do u think i will be ok with the drop bracket? do the chevy brake lines bolt right in?
GM C/K1500 Front Softlines ('90-95) = 6" longer
Dakota Rear Softlines ('95-00) = 6" longer
I think you need more than just drop brackets.

so i do need a new rear brake line? i know the fronts are way too short so ima for sure do those ones but the back idk cuz its more to the middle of the axle idk just my thought ill check it out tho
If your lift kit didn't come with a new rear line then I would go ahead and do it. It will save you the trouble of bleeding the lines twice.

For around a hundred bucks you can have a full set of braided brake hoses in any color you want from www.quadratec.com , I bet it's cheaper than buying hoses one piece at a time and not being real sure if they will fit correctly.

it will save you money in the long run to just go with the braided lines. do it once and get it over with. i just got my self a new set and everything fit together beautifully easy fix.

Did you get the 2wd lines? You have to move the bracket for them to work.
