If my truck has a fabtech 7 in lift and if i add a 1.5 in body lift will i need longer brake lines? i didnt put on the fabtech lift and i dont think it came with longer lines.

Just for future reference and for any one who may search this topic later on.

A body lift in NO way affects the brake lines, they are on the frame and not the body. That being said the only place a "possible" problem would be is with the master cylinder, but most have coils in the brake lines so that they flex. so it is only a possible problem.
