Extended brake hoses

I have fitted +2" shocks with standard height springs. Been advised its best to fit extended brake hoses as well. Is it just as important to change the rear hose as it is the front hoses ?

I am having trouble undoing the rear and nut is starting to round off slightly, I have caked it in plus gas a few times but no luck yet (probably never been undone in 26 yrs).

Cheers

imo yes it is as important to do the rear pipe as well as the front cause due to the lift your pipes are extra strain and could fail causing you to have no brakes, so i personally would even go to the extreme of cutting the bracket off thats holding the pipe and making a new one to replace it.
at the end of the day if the pipe fails means no brakes

Agreed, did my lift the otherday. did the hoses, or other matt did (thanks buddy)

After the lift the original back pipe was tight. As you go over uneven terrain it will pull tighter.

get the fooker off. "D

Managed to get them all fitted today but snapped a 26 yr old brake pipe off in the process
