I bought crown 2-3 inch extended brakelines to put on when I put my OME lift on.

My question is where does the longer pair of lines go? Front or rear? I'm sure I could figure it out once I removed old ones, but would like to know in advance.

Techincally, you'll want them both front AND rear. The rears need it more than the fronts though. Also, you should know that the front and rears typically come in different lengths. Also, if the lines you got have elbows as the caliper end, you need to know they typically come in a passenger side and driver side.

Put em up front if u only have one set. U will still need some type of brake line extension in the rear in the form of new lines or drop brackets.

I bought the full set from crown- both front and rear. I was looking at the write up here and was unsure where the longest pair of replacement lines go. They were not marked in the shipping package. Thanks.

Eddie is there a best set of longer braided SS brake lines. My fronts keep rubbing the tires. I have pulled the away with a zip tie but that wont work when flexing. Seems like they should be bent away from the tires. Thanks

x2 been looking for driver and passenger side specific style so it keeps them from rubbing on the tires

Both of mine are straight. I'm ordering new ones and I'm going to try and bend them a little with a tubing bender.
