    I also found the I4X lines to be supurb and easy to install (with no prior brake system experience).

    Independent is the way to go - way happy with mine. Waited for three months from an eBay seller (who's still got them listed, by the way) and never received them (did get a refund).

    Got mine from I think a retailer named Darlington Offroad Performance or some such, increased brake pedal pressure immediately, worthwhile mod.

    I noticed that, but am glad that inch & a half was there since the lift.

    Arrow Longer for lift

    I think the Independent 4x4 website specifically states that these lines are longer to allow for lifts.

    That's why I got 'em! They fit perfectly with my 3" lift. And they seem to work, because every time I press on the brake pedal, my VX stops. So far.
