Smile Lift kit

i was wondering if anyone has lifted their truck. im thinking about a 2.5" or a 4". i was wondering if any brake lines or fuel lines needed to be extended. also if the lift was good or if it just cause problems.

Youd be better off in the "Off Road" or "Brakes, Steering, Tires, and Suspension" forums.

But I think (almost positive) you will need to extend you brake lines. I dont know about the fuel lines. If you do a Sky manufacturing Shackle Flip for the front, you will get about 3.5" of lift and will maintain the same leaf quality of the OEM leaves (same pair) and actuall improve the ride because it causes the shackles on the front and rear leaves to operate in the same direction.
