the RC 6” 2wd lift kit doesn’t come with new control arms so the stock ones should work for me, since I am basically making a 6” lift with different parts.

I have seen people use the stock brake lines with only the 4” spindles, I believe you can take the brake line out of one of the brackets to give it more slack. Not sure if the extra 2” would require extended brake lines though.

Sounds about right. But I'm no expert either

Ok so I found my answer. The RC 6” c1500 lift doesn’t require extended brake lines. The stock ones will work, you just need to unbolt them from their brackets to give them more slack.

They are held on at the ball joint hardware - which you’ll be taking apart anyways, I’d assume. Never done a lift on these trucks.

Might also be a good time to replace the rubber brake hose, too.
