Yes, frame to axle lines.

This is the reason I bring this up. The Slee description only mentions the rear parts being extended…

Why would you need the lines from the axle to the calipers to be longer?

Unless your running portal axels wouldn’t that distance remain unchanged?

Not for the rear, but for the front possibly.

Messaged Slee through their website. Their response was that the fronts are slightly longer than OEM brake lines, but that it wouldn't matter, as the front brake lines are not a limiting factor before other geometry issues arise when doing a longer travel front end.

It's necessary for the fronts and rears. I'll be honest I should replace my rears, but I just bent a bracket to have more slack. On my todo list. Thanks for the link above.

Well, in light of not finding an easy solution for extended brake lines, I just ordered the Stoptech brake line kits for LX. Stoptech say it's the same part for both Tundra and LC/LX for the rears (so maybe it's longer?) and then there are some posts in the OEM BBK thread that suggests that possibly the Stoptech brake lines for the front are longer as well. We will see, I'm not overly optimistic on either front.

Sorry, missed this. I used a front extended set that is meant for a 100 series, but also fits the 200 series.

Well, I'll just wait and see what happens with my Stoptech lines. Maybe I'll get lucky and they will be extended by default. Otherwise, I'll look into these or the other lines for a Tundra that were referenced earlier. Ordered from Jegs, so maybe i can even return them if they aren't what i want. Or pass them along here, surely SS lines is a fairly common upgrade.

Nice, didn't know those those existed! Great clean way to do it.

I never got a pic of mine but I did space down the factory mount about 1/2". 1/4" spacer on each bolt that mounts to the frame. Then spaced the sway end link on the top mount with a 1/4" washer. Seems to be working well.

I take that back! Broke my rear sway endlinks this past weekend on some deep moguls. I had originally spaced the bushings down a tad which meant I put more stress on the threaded shaft. It didn't like that and probably fatigued over time, along with not enough extension.

Fixored by cutting the shaft to the extension needed, and welding a large M10 x 60mm bolt. Note the unthreaded shoulder part of the bolt which is important for the bushings to ride on. Swapped in some freshy bushings. Used a jam nut to install at the proper 1.5" of compression. Much better.
