    Picked up some cheap OME coils for 3” of lift in the rear on my 5th gen. Just curious for those who are running 3” in the rear, did you have to do anything? Not sure if I have to install extended brake lines for when the axle is at full droop. I do plan on upgrading the panhard bar, and sway links eventually. I currently have 2” but noticed it sags a lower than the front when loaded so trying to eliminate that issue, plus having some rake back will be nice.

    I did 2” coils and I think I may do extended brake lines just because of how much pressure is on the lines. I can’t imagine doing 3” and not replacing them if you are ever in a position of articulation

    I added +2” lines in the rear. Side note: Toyota supplies a brake line relocate with their 2nd Gen Pro Lift Kit.

    rear- for sure
    front- maybe,

    I would just do it next time you flush/ change the brake fluid.
