I have Rusty's lift and didnt extend the brake lines. I have quite a bit of slack left over even at full droop.

generally speaking its lifts over 3 inches that require extending the brake lines on most vehicles. When you get around the 4 inch mark (especially on Jeeps) it's time to slip yoke eliminator kits. One guy on this this forum (Jjay) runs a 4 inch lift. I don't think he had to extend the brake lines to run it but he himself said it doesn't have much flex.
