    I am new to offroad vehicles and recently picked up a 2016 Tundra Crewmax SR5. I just had a 7" BDS lift with Fox 2.5 Coilovers installed along with a lot of other things and didn't know that I should have installed extended brake lines as well. Long story short, my brakes were really soft on the way home from the installer and there was a flapping noise that started happening about halfway home on the interstate. After close inspection when I got home I saw that the inner fender liner aprons had ripped and the brake lines had not been reattached to the mounting points inside the fenders. I called my installer and he said that usually there are extended brake lines included in the kits he typically installs on Jeeps, but that only extended hard lines for the rear came with my kit. If you look at the second and third images you can see the mounting brackets just hanging and what looks like holes to mount those brackets. You would think he would've called me during the install to discuss this!!! In his defense, he is primarily a Jeep guy who doesn't have much experience with Toyotas and he was the only person I could find in the Tampa area to do my install, but common... How could he ever think this would be ok??? I would have lost my brakes the minute I went offroad! Long story short, I need to find some extended brake lines asap so that I can have them installed when I bring the truck back in after the 500 mile gear break-in. I have searched all over online and in forums and found a couple of kits, but cannot figure out what I should get. I've copied some links below to what I've found. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!!

    I was leaning towards these because there are many options for lengths up to 12" options. I was thinking of ordering the 7" option, but not sure if that much additional length is necessary or not. Let me know what you guys think.

    Someone on another post recommened these, but they only add 3"-4" (is that enough?)

    These also only add 3"-4"
