I am getting ready to lift my truck (2 inch suspension and 2 inch body) and am prefabing much in advance ( complete rear axle with the springs and shocks and brakes already on so it is bolt in friendly). The question is with the new length the O. E. size shocks and brake hoses will now be to short. How do I remedy this? I know that I need to get longer hoses and shocks but when I attempt to at the parts store they can only look up stock height. What do I look under for the longer hoses for example. Also is there anything that I am forgetting that needs to be changed????

Help in any way is still help and I will take all I can

you ought to be able to find a parts store that makes hyd. hoses,kinda costly but so are new ones.
as for the shocks I bought mine at http://www.rockymoun.../ford_index.HTM
I have skyjackers and they cost about 30 each

All the good Bronco stores have them... Jeff's, Wild horses, Toms, etc.
Also Classic Tube. <' />

ok but is it possible to just get for example a set for an f 250 or 350 which i believe was a taller truck or any other vehicle using the same shape ends? if needed i can swap fittings as the lines are all new on my truck?

why wouldn't it?as long as you are not riggin' something up
brake lines run under alot of pressure,if the banjo mount for the caliper is the same you can adapt the rest.

You can buy the correct model brake line in a longer length for youre rig from bronco grave yard. The are not that much, and at least you know that it will work right.

NEVER SKIMP ON YOUR BRAKES. Good brakes are a must for your bronco. Going the cheep route will cost you money down the road when the part breaks
