Ok so first is first...
I have had a body lift before, many moons ago, so I know people are going to say that they are junk, don't do it, blah blah blah...

but I am contemplating a 3" again because I have a 6" suspension lift that is nice and flexible. I keep stuffing my tires into my fenders and yes I can do bump stops but I'm also contemplating larger tires later.

so to my q...
I have a hydraulic clutch and I know if I go up 3" body, gonna need a longer clutch line. anyone know where to get one or a part number?

so 6+3 right now on my 40" hawgs (38.8 true) and contemplating 42's eventually

so thoughts and go ahead lemme have it... :pimp:


Pic for attention

You can cut 2"-3" off across of the top. I'm running 43's with 8" lift (7"+1") and I consider my truck tall by today's standards.
 
Some of the larger auto parts stores make hydraulic lines. Should be pretty inexpensive to have a new one done up. Or go to a hydraulic supply place for the same thing.
 
Agree with hydraulic supply
My local guy makes them, tests them
In front of you, and can even do several colors.
Plus you can get different ends for custom routing, 90, 45, etc
 
the hard section cut and flare in a nut and use a union to connect it . its just like a brake hose is all . but the oem is a metric thread bubble flare if i recall .

i use to have a 2" body and no problems with the stock hose .

also more room for the tires with these and no lift unless nj is still no good with this kind of thing .

Got pics? Till got wells in truck? Remember imma trail/mudder so i need wells...
Move axle forward?
 
I have both flex and at rest pics in my build thread and photo albums here but I'm not where I can copy / paste right now.

My front axle is 2" forward, the rear is 3" rearward.

I'm in the same terrain boat, there's no rocks in the southeast.
 
So if i go the trimming more route... is there some mathematical formula to calculate how far to lower bump stops? That would help..

With and without flare. Primered same cut except i cut off under marker as seen in flare pic
