It depends on how much longer they need to be, like when lifting a 4x4 or using extended shckles, you should measure how much drop you are going to get the adjust brake line length accordingly

what are the problems if you get them extended too long, for instance i need about 2 inches more, but if i go soa i think i'll need 6-8 inches longer, is there harm in getting the longer lines now?

I think it is just getting them hooked up on stuff that is the main concern. If you tie em up on a light spring I don't think there is too much to worry about

see i like to do things once and right know i would think about 4" longer (my ute has 2" springs and 2" longer shackles) but later i may have 4" springs and 2" drop hangers so that 8" over standared and then you count in flex
does anyone know how much longer GUTS brake lines are and if he ahs had any troubles with soft brake peddle
