Longer Oil Cooler Lines

The 4" lift is on and now I have leaks at the oil cooler lines. I read somewhere on here that you need to extend the lines
but I can't find the post. I asked NAPA and they said they sell the OEM lines but didn't have a clue about extensions. My
mechanic says we can take them to a AC/radiator shop and have them weld in some extensions. Can anyone here tell
me the solution?

Thanks in advance,

Joe

Yeah, just cut and flare the stock lines and use oil cooler hose and fuel injection hose clamps. I'm doing the same with my oil cooler and transmission cooler lines (Gates high pressure transmission cooler hose) which will also helps installation/removal.

You bet! I've been running oil hose and doubled up worm clamps for a couple years now. Working great!
