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.

Yeah you probably will, and if not, probably should. When you flex and stuff you could rip em out of there...

Well the rubber hose is mounted to the frame which doesn't move when you lift the body. The only thing to watch out for is the metal lines but those should be fine too.
