Hello everyone ! So I am getting a 2 inch body lift from Nssticlifts . so my question to people with 2 inch body lift.. what happens with this brake lines.. that are attached to the frame and go up to the brake booster that is attached to the body.. ( that will move up 2 inches during the lift ) anyone has any photos how it looks on yours please ? I was trying to read up the instructions and looking on the forums but that part is unclear for me..
also.. how much is the steering column has to slide apart ?

The instructions tell you to unbolt those junctions from the frame and use the supplied brackets to remount them. However. I've found that as you lift if you do it VERY slowly, those lines will just extend as there is a lot of hard line there just kind of coiled up. You definitely have to be careful and help them along by hand bending some of it. Just watch the flare nuts on the upper side of the union. Those like to rust and snap when you move the lines around. I've done a few successful body lifts this way and didn't have to unbolt anything.

Ah OK I see well they send me only one bracket and not even the right amount of bolts and one is even missing the threads..

anyways.. yeah my brake lines are rusted during titan swap I broke one on both sides on passanger side .. so I definitely will need to unbolt those and maybe make my own brackets as they send only one

How TF are they gonna send a bolt that hasn't been properly machined!?!

I had to replace all my hard lines when I did the Titan swap. It was all rusty garbage. Now it's all shiny an new.

See this post. All new factory hardlines, brass adapters, bracket. No spacers. Was able to bend everything to get it to work with my body lift.

It will settle a lot, fairly quickly. Give it at least a week, but better yet, give it a wheeling trip.
