RB for get the essay format english is my second language. I have no resources other than practical experience and don't care about any extra creadit points.

;-)

My experience says that this is fine. I believe that the limiting factor is the length of the shocks or sway bars. Most standard length OME, Bilstein and certainly the stocks shocks will be the limiting factor when articulated and when fully extended are not likely to add any tension on the brake lines, but it is very wise to test it out on your rig. If you are still running with sway bars, these could be the limiting factor rather than the shocks.

I tested this with my OME setup and had no problems (with out sway bars).

You can get about 2" by reversing the brake line mounting bracket on top of the rear axel and more with extended brake lines.

Not your desired format, but maybe it helps nonetheless.

I am changing out my lines when I add a 2" lift. Personally I just don't want to take any chances concerning my braking. Also new longer lines are not that expensive.

For essay purposes I highly recommend "A Writers Reference" by Diane Hacker 4th edition ISBN 0-312-17161-7. Do you approve Mr. B?
