Question Brake Line Extension

I'm hoping to put an 8" lift on my truck tomorrow. I got the BDS all springs and what-not and I thought it came with brake line extensions. Well I was wrong. I read on the FAQ that they are recommended for an 8" lift, but will I still be safe without them extended and just rerouted?

IMO you will be ok for street driving, but not so much for off roading.
The lines are pretty long stock, and you will pick up around 3 to 4 inches by relocating.
If you have plans off off roading I would replace the fronts for sure.

Alright, thanks a lot! That sounds fine for me. It'll be on the road a while before I get off road anyhow.
