Exclamation New brake lines?
I'm about to put a 5" lift on my 1997 dodge ram 1500 2wd. Will I need to change my brake lines? Thanks for the help guys.

Yes. You do NOT want the surprise of coming down from some nice suspension-stretchy moment, only to find that you brake pedal has gotten VERY mushy.......

I don't think theres 5" of play in the hoses. Plus normal suspension travel.
