5"
Got my 4'' Rustys coils put on and added another leaf to the rear.Turns out 4'' HD springs give you a total of 5''.Their not that stiff really compared to the spacers and stuff that I had on it before.I need to do a TC drop,or sye,but as it sits I have nearly 0 drive line vibration,is that normal for 5'' of lift?I also had to take the spare off the roof to get it in the garage and I gotta get longer shocks.Any suggestions on shocks or if anbody has some for sale let me know

Brakeline relocate
Ordered some Rough Country shocks to accommodate the the 5''s I have now so I needed to do something about the brake lines,so I relocated the fronts the way alot of people do be moving the brackets down and straightening the lines some.While I was in the front I decided to get rid of all the ABS brackets and stuff since I deleted the ABS when I did the d35 to 8.25 swap.I took one of the brackets(pictured in my hand)and used it in the rear to relocate the rear line lower.I had to open the notch a little bit with a grinder, I used self tappers to attach to the unibody it works great and I was able to use the c-clip from the original mounting bracket to secure it.It gave me about 4 3/4'' more slack.i think I am still going to do some yj lines on the front just to be safe

So how much more "length" are you getting from the straightened brake lines? This is something I need to do, but I keep debating with myself if I should go this route or new longer lines.
