Greetings,
I'm adding a 3 inch suspension lift/leveling kit to my 2013 1500 and wondering if any of you have a place to source extended brake lines for the front and rear? I've looked around the typical sites, but can seem to find them. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

The rear does not have extended lines as there's no way to change them out unless you remove the hard lines as well. I could be mistaken as its been a few years since i looked but that's what I ended my search with.

For the front, the only thing i was able to find was brackets where you unbolt the stock mount or bend it to account for the extra lift.

For me, the front ended up not needing the extensions at full droop. The rear I just unbolted them from the wire hangers they use that are bolted to the frame and that provided plenty of droop for the rear suspension. Been 5 years and no issues with abnormal wear on the rear brake lines.

I did a six inch lift and replaced the flexible lines front and rear. The front are bds stainless steel braided. The rear are custom from klm performance. Both are high quality.
The front’s were easy enough, just remove and replace with longer hoses.
The rear are different. The bds kit came with a relocation bracket that worked well and did not require any line replacement just a little light bending. Those would probably do for your three inch lift.
I replaced my rears with the KLM customs because we run the truck pretty hard and the brake lines were acting like limit straps. To change those out you have to cut the hard lines and flare them for the new stainless hoses. The factory line looks like it has union but it cannot be separated. You might be able to find premade hard lines to go with your new hoses, but I could not.

Also previously I was running a 2.75 inch front lift and a 1.5 inch rear lift (icon each end) and had no problems with the factory lines even when rock crawling and full flex.

We offer Crown Performance brake lines. The rear you dont need to do and you can not do without cutting and flaring the hard lines, however we can set you up with the front lines. Message me if you would like a quote
