a few ?'s
Okay, i recently upgraded from a RC4.5 short arm to a 6-6.5", my current setup is RE5.5 coils and .5 spacer in front with control arm drop brackets and x flex control arms. I have RC4.5 leafs(sagged about an inch), HD shackle relocation and 1" jks boomerang shackles. I have taken care of all the stuff needed to upgrade to 6.5" all i need now is extended brake lines(i have the relocation that came with the RC 4.5) and shocks. My e brake cables are not long enough so i think i'm just going to take the e brake out, but could anybody post some links to some brake lines i should get. I also need to measure for shocks, i figured i would just take my shocks off and flex out all the way, take measurents from upper shock mount and lower, ride hieght, extended, and compressed, then find the shock closest to that. I am kind of on a budget, so i'm looking for the cheaper way that will work well, i don't want some sketchy setup
So, my questions are what brake stuff do i need to buy(links would be great) because i type in extended brake lines and there are like a million things that come up.
Is that an okay way to measure for shocks?
And is it okay to just get rid of the e brake

i believe thats the correct way to measure for the shocks. dont quote me on that tho because im not 100% on that. as for the ebrake i would keep it. theres ways to make that work. do some searching on that. and not sure how much longer you need but theres some brakelines from other vehichles that work if you look in this thread: https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f67/bu...pgrades-84020/
