i recently gave my cruiser a 2 in lift and removed front and rear sway bars .this was great gave me more travel. but the standard brake hose from chasis to diff housing is to short for the extended travel.. after a couple of times down at ormeau it fractured the hose .. result no brakes. i took the old hose to a brake shop and got them to extend it by 4 in or 100 mm only cost $50.00 . cheeper than $ 350.00 excess on insurance or worse dead
