Extended Brake Lines

Might be a stupid question, but I have a '94 Bronco that I'd like to put a 2", maybe 3" body lift on to clear 35's/36's. I already have a 4" Suspension lift on it with the stock brake lines. In order to accomodate the 6-7" of total lift will I have to replace the stock lines with extended break lines? Also, if anyone has experience with body lifts, how difficult would it be for a couple weekend mechanics to install one of these things. Thanks for the help.

yes. The Brake Lines would need to be extended. I'm kind supprised that they were not done already, when the 4" suspension lift was done.

As far as body lift goes, I haven't done it myself. But It seems pretty well straight forward. Most likely the body mount bushings would be replaced with taller ones, along with longer bolts.
