6 inch lift questions.

[xtremeRanger]

I picked up a skyjacker 6" lift for $400 used. Im only having to order new bushings in for it and im wondering If you guys have any ideas on what i can do to extend my front and rear brake lines. i want at least 6" inches of play in them.


Thanks, Matt

and i was wondering if i can use my stock radius arms and fab them to make them extended?

You can extend the stock arms (many here have done it). Check out my BII Cardomain page for mine.

As for brake hoses, Skyjacker makes a nice set of stainless ones that will work well with a 6" lift.

whats the difference between extended and stock rad arms. Can i use my stock rad arms? will i be fine with them if im just mudding and using it as my DD?

And if you don't mind me asking can you get me the part number for those extended brake lines....

Will my drive shaft be fine with the 6" lift?

skfbl38 for the brake lines from ntw and they run 103.36. there also a way to do it with rubber lines from auto zone. there a write up on it the brake section i think. that runs around 40 bucks. you can run your stock drive shaft for a while.

One is stock and one is extended?

You want more wheel travel/flex? If so then you'll want extended arms. If not (mudding isn't overly demanding of wheel travel), then stock arms should be OK.
