My 6 inch RCX lift came with extended front brake lines.

In the rear it could really use one, the brake line is pretty taught.

yeah you'll have to get extended front ones, and should get the rear with it (they are usually sold in sets of three if you get stainless) my procomp kit came with the fronts, and i got my hands on a rear that will go on with the rear disc kit in the next couple weeks.

the rear line (on the 2-doors anyway) have a bad tendency to rub on the fuel tank plate and shred the outer line.

Also to add, if you plan on jumping your truck you may want to upgrade from the included shocks. My truck bottoms out when going airborn, and is rather bouncy at speeds.

Thanks 96Procomp and Newmarket! nice, ya im upgrading to the nitro 9000 shocks, and to 96procomp would the extended brake lines keep it from rubbing the brake line?...also i dont wanna spend $600 on a dual cardon drive shaft, any ideas?

Do you have autotrac?

96ProCompTahoe · Oct 21, 2008

you'll only want to put a dual cardon drive shaft in the front, as higher speeds make them wear out really fast, if you don't have autotrac you should be fine with the front shaft, and a regular drive shaft shop can legthen the rear shaft if needed.

my rear shaft is getting dropped off to be legthened tomorrow afternoon.

and the rear brake line shouldn't rub at all once its lifted, the lift pulls it out alot straighter and it shouldn't rub even with the extended lines.

yes i have autotrac, y

newmarketEOD · Oct 21, 2008

you will need a new front driveshaft with the autotrac.

so does anyone know if the 4door front driveshaft is long enough to do the job on a 6'' lift or no...if i have to i can get a aftermarket one but i get a big discount from gm on any parts, thats y i am askin.....thanks!!!!!

shouldn't be any different on the front shaft, just the rears.

2 and 4 doors had the same engine, trans, and T-case in them so spacing between the T-case and the front differential is the same.
