Well you can do one of two things IMO .... Wait till you get the new front end under the truck and check the length.. OR just go ahead and buy the extended lines .. you never know when you might wanna lift in the future.

Don't forget about the outward travel vs. sitting there with the lines just long enough to reach. Long lines are good. Ripping 'em out out at an in-oportune time.....yuk. My $0.02.
