Extended brake lines and spring questions

[Yomie]

OK, my first question is how much lift in the rear do most people have before they get extended brake lines. I ask this question because all i ahve on the rear of my truck is the Shackles and i had the truck on the lift saturday with the wheels hanging and that rear brake line was TIGHT almost pinched at the top connection. I need to know where i can order the extended line.

My 2nd question is does anyone know if ranger springs will work on an explorer? First off will they position the axle in the same location as stock and will a 4" ranger spring put 4" on an explorer? Are they interchangeable.

I'm going with used 4" springs cause i hate the way them damned shackles hang so low, i would rather have springs with an arch.

They are interchangeable. The spring rates are different though. Ranger springs are softer.

With the ranger springs being softer do you think they will sag sooner?

Yup, it only took me about 6 months to ruin a set. Plus your rear end will be waggy.
