Steel Braided Lines

[Locomigo]

do u have to buy this to get the 3inch lift, or can u still lift it with out buying the brake lines?

I just added them to my bud's Rodeo this week. Along with everything else that I did for him (He's in Europe, Milan, IT for work and couldnt do it)
Tera-Lows
3" BL
3" lift
33" tires
steel brake lines
manual hubs
swaybar disconnects... all from Matt

but I digress. I have had the Amigo lifted for 7 years now. Still have the factory lines. Never did anything to them when I lifted it originally. I am putting on the Indy4x set of lines this week though. My buddy ordered me a set when we did the parts order.

So, I only have a slight lift, enough to run a 31.5 inch tire. (Torsion bars were cranked to level it) Will I have a problem with these longer lines? And no, I'm not going to be lifting it anymore so sometime in the future isn't a issue.

Shouldn't be a problem, you'll just have a bit more slack.

Thats what I'm worried about, possible chaffing or flexing/kinking. Just hoping someone with a non lifted VX would jump in with a 'Ain't no problem' response.

I would appreciate the same "no problem" response since my proton is at stock level with no plans to lift. My other questions on a separate 'brake' discussion are pretty much answered and actually reinforced the need and sensible move to the braided lines. Keep VX'n! Scott

im fully stock with the longer lines, no lift with stock tires, i went out offroading with them and had no problems.. even got high centered once and a jeep in our group actually snagged a rear line on a rock while we were out. no problems for me, just make sure who ever does your installation ties them back well. the only issue i had was when my vx was at the dealership the mechanic there complained that they were too long and that he refused to touch them because they were aftermarket.
