Ok so i am going to put 4" of lift on my sierra 2" ome springs all round and 2" body lift. What else needs to be upgraded other then the shocks?
(not including the stuff that comes in the kits) getting the suspension from arb and body lift from just cruizin these the best places to go?

Don't bother with shackles for now. Brake hoses can be made up by any brake shop for you.

Stock Hilux - not likely, different fittings. Any brake shop like ABS will make them for about $40 bucks each. Shackles aren't legal but then again most things aren't.

I'd say it's never a good thing to use 2nd hand brake lines

For the sake of safety, $80 isn't unreasonable for a pair of new brake lines

Never use 2nd hand brake lines!! The cost of new ones is so minimal compared to the risks involved in 2nd hand ones.

That only happens at your place Steve :lol:

If it can't be fixed with a welder or grinder, it's not worth fixing.
