installing pro-comp 6.5" lift in my 03 f250, brake lines?
Will I need to extend my brake lines? I heard no but anyone with experience? I dont want to get in the middle of it and find out I cant finish.

I had one on my 04 but it had a 4 inch kit with brake line drop brackets and I later switched to the 6.5 kit and still had to bend them down a little bit. I find it strange the 6.5 kit doesn't address the brake lines at all

I took the bolts out of the frame brackets and let it droop when I did my 5" 4 years ago. From the pictures of my truck on the RTI ramp, I'd say its no problem.

Mine is 6.5 inch. Anyone?

When I ran a 6" lift I didn't need them. I have some SS braided lines now with my 8"... $225 bucks

![]() 6.5 Pro-Comp springs, brake lines unbolted at frame, I don't see the need for longer lines. These were installed after the 5" lift, shortly before the picture was taken. |

I would look at getting some SS brake lines. Especially on a truck with 37's or greater. Makes a big difference. At the sametime you can get some extended as well.
Good luck Chuck |

I had mine made at a local Hydraulic shop for $60.00 All you need to tell them is how long you want them. They will reuse the bottom of the factory lines. Good Luck |

On my 04 with a 6 inch icon. I needed extended lines. Even bending the brackets I was no where close to having enough. Now it is a gasser, so if the diesel brake lines are different, then maybe you can. But I needed both front and rear. I'm glad I did though anyway. Gives me flexibility to go up a few inches as well.
