Getting ready to put 33's on '05 Wrangler. I have a 2" budget boost and 1" body lift. Do I need brake line extenders in general and/or when disconnecting sway bar link??

I ran that same set-up without extending the brake lines. I had no problems. :lol:

You would be OK for a while, but if you hyper extend they may brake, getting extended lines is a plus, and prevent problem later.

Your fine the BB are set up to work with all the OEM parts. Don't worry about the brake lines stock ones work with jeeps with up to 3 inches of lift. spend the money and time on skids Twisted Evil

If you run a big enough bump stop you will be OK..... maybe. I had the RE 2" BB on mine with the RE bumpstops and my factory front brake lines were too short. When I flexed mine out, they looked like piano wire.
Just remember, all Jeeps are different and what may work on yours, may not work the same way on someone elses.
Put your BB on it and go flex it out. If you need the brake lines, go get a set.

Hey Mike hows it going up there? when you coming out to play with the crew?

I thought that Rubions and normal TJ's had the same break lines. I remember when John had is rubi his break lines would stretch some. Also Rubicon owners that run with Rich get to see the limits of there rig due to the fact that he loves to Break rubicons. But Mike has a point take Your TJ for a run Vernonica find a spot where you get good flex and have someone check it out for you.

With all the lift I have on mine the brake lines were being tweaked at end range. I just unbolted the lines from the frame and carefully rerouted them down the side of the frame rail to give the length I needed. Be careful not to pinch them off.
