I'm getting ready to install a 4" suspension lift on my 87 BII 4X4.

If you've done this as well, what brake lines did you go with for added length?
 
There's something on the tech library about using Suburban brake lines up front, they're plenty long and fit decent. It will likely involve crimping new nuts on the ends of the factory lines but it's not too bad.

These pictures were from right after I did the lift and stuffm apparently that's when my power steering reservoir and pressure hose was leaking really bad... but since the stock drivers side line has the Tee on it I got a tee that fit on the line (if I remember right I had to run a 3/8-24 die down that side) and new nuts, it was before my new alignment bushings too...
