Hey guys. Just lifting my sj410 with a maxitrak 2" suspension lift and just wondering what I need to change aswell? I'm pretty sure I need longer brake lines and driveshaft spacers? If you Suzy experts would be able to send me in the right direction? Like where to get spacers or what brakelines everyone's used. Cheers

Yea box sec..think its only 25mm, that was just enough to stop guard rub with 30's in my case. No issues on the back.

Ring 0800 Brakes.
They are the only people in NZ (I Think) that swage there brake lines. The rest use screw together fittings.

You can also send them your bake hoses, they will make the longer ones how ever long you want, then send them back.
