    Replacing my stock leaf packs with Alcans, and going to replace the shocks with Icon 2.0 while everything's out. Do I need to install longer brake lines to make up for the extended travel? 2017 platinum, Thanks

    Alcans? Wise choice. What rear lift height is built in with your custom Alcans?

    No lift. Just returning it to stock height, +500lbs after my cap/cap pack. Going to wind up doing shackles in the future, when I level the front hence the icon 2.0 now.

    You won't need extended brake lines...

    Same question here. 4” of height built into my new Alcans, going with the RCD/Bilstein 5100s extended rears to accommodate. Any idea how much extra line I’ll need for the travel on those? Thanks
