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.

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.
