Have been searching and have not found mcuh on this topic other than it is something to look at. I have spent some time underneath evaluting and it seems that the abs line is in the most dire of needs for extension in my opinion. Anyone know if another model such as the LC's have a stock line that is a bit longer? At this point Im just considering removing it and cutting the wires near the plugs and soldering in some longer wires and wrap it a wire loom protector and then heat shrink ontop of that.

The E brake lines are a bit more a mystery to me. Im sure they are rather simple but I have never done any work on them and not sure of the possibilty of actually lengthenin them.

So, if anyone has infor or brainstorms on these subjects I shall consider and be doing this when I get my truck back.

FOr the ABS I would see if you can get the male and female plugs to make an extension. Also check to see fi there are ways to reroute the wires to create more length.

Not sure on the ebrakes though.

How much travel are you looking for? Stock is aorund 8" or so, and most shocks will get to about 10" with extended brake lines.
