You must have an ABS set up then if you have 4 lines.
1 each side at the front a 2 at the back ??
Goodridge  lines for a +2" lift are 18.5" from the end of the fittings.
Hope that helps.

Thats where I get mine. I just have a goodridge set kicking about.
Nowhere near the quality of LLAMA lines. 8)
Give David a buzz and tell him what suspension you are getting or what you are doing and he will sort you out.
