Brake Hoses

I have a 2.5" lift on a 1974 cj6.
Do I need to extend the brake hoses to the wheel cylinders?
Do I just need to have some slack in the hose with a hanging suspension or just add 2.5"?

I just installed the springs and differentials so I have no brake lines to reference.

 

I run bds 2.5 with stock lines. Check it at full droop on one side and full stuff on the other on the same axle.

 

If you use the stock shock absorbers, that will prevent the axle from drooping more than the factory hoses can reach. If you use longer shocks, you'll need to put a spacer between the frame and the bumper to prevent bottoming the shock at full compression. You may need to move the brake line down or use longer hoses. It will probably be ok, but test at full extension. I too run BDS with factory lines and factory-length shock absorbers.

 

Thank you
