2-3 inch lift. Do I need to extend my brake lines?

Planning to get this 2" TourFlex Suspension Kit - 100 Series

I tried searching but I cannot find an answer. Do I need extended brake lines if I am lifting it to 2-3.5inches? Or is there enough slack on the OEM brake lines? I might get a front diff drop to reduce the stress on the CV, will that also help with the brake lines? It seems like not a lot of people extended their brake lines after installing a lift. Thanks in Advance

I ran a 3" Touflex on my 100 with no extended lines. The new owner still runs the 3" without extended lines.

You do not need to extend the brake lines. Climb under there and look.

Highly recommend the diff-drop at 2" or more of lift.

A friend brought back from Japan, try to find the box to take a pic.

With that much lift the rear should be extended. The brake lines and then swaybar links will stop down travel with extended travel shocks. There are extended links you can buy or cut them and weld tubing to extend.
Check Slee for longer brake lines.

Do the braided brake lines change pedal feel at all? More firm? Better modulation? Very curious.

Slee carries them....

@geanes Firm not really (maybe I am insensitive) but pretty sure it was responsive and better modulation.
