I would go for extended brake lines at least in the front I don't think it's needed in the rear.

I you want to save a little you might be able to lower the on the chassis and modify the plate on the caliper side. Roel

Llama 4x4 i use for all my pipes, excellent product. consider banjo fittings straight to caliper too. search for other thread on here about it. Cheers

Bearing in mind the relatively insignificant extra cost, and the realtively insignificant additional effort to fit, I would definitely fit extended hoses. Not worth the risk, especially if they are short you could well rip out both circuits in a single incident.
