Extended steel braided lines are usually standard equipment when you buy a lift kit. I don't have a lift but am running Goodrich Braided Lines and slotted and cross drilled rotors. It made a world of difference when stopping the DMAXed H2.

Speaking of stopping power, would an H2 with 37" tires and 24" rims, stop noticeably worse than one with stock tires/rims?

trailduty.com has Crown Performance Brake Lines and they work great.

LOL All depends on the wheel tire set-up. But my questions is, why would anyone in their right mind run a 37" tire on a 24" rim?:notallthere:

Figure on loosing what feels like 25-30% of your braking power. Your adding a bunch of weight going to the larger rim and lot more mass w/ a 37" tire. It made me nervous as hell the fist week driving it.
