On my wife's 2013, I used a 2 in front and 1.5 rear. The rear brake lines were not anywhere near long enough at full droop, so I added these extensions and new brake lines. As the suspension not only moved down but forward, I lowered the mount 2 in. Some 1/8x 1 steel, bolts, and some brake line hardware. Pretty simple, but I didnt find any extended rubber lines, so this was my solution.

Ok. I'm not sure if a brass fitting is rated for the pressure that a brake system might see. Would hate for you to have a panic stop situation and that fitting fail on you.

Appreciate the concern, but these are common brake system unions, designed for this specific use. If I had used brass compression fittings, you would be 100 percent correct in your concern.
