Getting more brake line length
I put a 2.5 leveling kit on, and put some shock extenders on. While I had my truck on the lift putting airbags on I noticed the brake lines were stretched out since there was no weight on the front axle. what are you guys doing to extend your brake lines? I am pretty tempted to just pull the shock extenders out. I just have the stock shocks, I will probably get the fox shocks eventually though and they will be a little longer.

You leveling kit should have come with a bracket to change the factory mount to give a bit more length.
Here's an example of a kit with the bracket:

Or higher end kits come with new brake lines. My Carli kit came with stainless steel brake lines. I did notice a difference. Brakes are firmer and feel like they are clamping harder.
