probably your local brake shop
. take your lines in that you wnat lengthened and they can make up some news ones in your specified length. Going rate in melb is anywhere between $40-$60 bucks a line.

Cool, does anyone know if every break line needs to be replaced with a longer one with a 2 inch bodylift and 3 inch suspension lift?

Mate, steer away from brake shops.
Try and find someone that does all types of hoses
and that kind of stuff.
My brake shop quoted me $75 for a break hose
4" longer than original.
The shop I went to (High Performance Fluid Connections)
charged me $25 to do the exact same thing.

You probably will need all three replaced, (There's only one in the rear) From memory, the front of vitaras have a retaining clip 1/2 way along that clips the line to the strut. Make sure this is crimped in in the right place.
X2 for going to a hose specialist rather than a brake shop.

You're also going to have to make sure the lines have the little ADR plastic sleeve if they're custom..
