Because we were planning to fit springs that would provide 2” of lift, we had to make provision to extend the brake hoses to handle the extra articulation. The fact that the old hoses were rubber and already 15 years old made it a no brainer. All the forums on the net advised to go to your nearest brake shop and get them to make a set of longer hoses. I still don’t know what a brake shop looks like. We eventually ended up ordering a set of extended hoses from Christo Slee in the States. These are stainless steel braided which in theory should provide better brake feel as they prevent the rubber from expanding under braking. Very marginal improvement in brake feel, but a very good product from Christo.
Also the are better/ stronger in case of bush getting under your can
