at 3'' its not absolutly nessasary to get longer brake lines but if your gonna be disconnected then i strongly recomend longer brake lines

as far as the rear swaybar just unbolt it and throw it away its usless

might need a little fender trimming but disconnects only for the front and extended brake lines only for the front ... the rear just pull it

Make some swaybar disconnects if you're handy!

Ditch the rear sway bar altogether. I'd ditch the front too, you don't need it, but if you do want to keep it get some quick disconnects. Longer brake lines would be a good idea too, I have extended lines at 1.5". As for the bumpstops, wait until its together and measure how much you'll need to extend them. I only needed my front bumpstops extended 2" with 1.5" lift and 33's and very little trimming.

Thanks for the ideas. But the rims at 15x8 w/ 3.75 bs will work right?

Definitely need extended lines all the way around if you are doing any sort of flexing

Yes, they'll work. You may need to trim a little to keep from rubbing when turning.

Get a Dakota rear brake hose, it's plenty long.

Would stretching out to a 4" or larger bs be worth it? Or will it wear out ball joints and stuff? Should i just stick with the 3.75 bs and trim?

4" bs actually stick out less than 3.75"

3.5" would stick out farther

Stick with 3.75. You'll be hitting your fenders for the most part. Run them and see where you need to trim.

Ha, what was i thinking. Of coarse 3.75 sticks out further. Now I've got rims settled.
So i can use Dakota brake lines on rear. What about the front?
