Another question (Extended Brake Lines)

[Capman2k]

I'm looking at extended brake lines, and everywhere I look they say they will not work with ABS... So what do people like me with ABS do? Will the stock lines work with a 4 inch lift?

I took off my brake lines, then went down to the local speed shop and said I need new steel braided brake lines to replace these that are 4" longer. (BTW.. the new lines may not be DOT aproved.. Mine are made by Holley, also known as Earls which are good lines, but are not DOT aproved (not a big deal here in Az)

they got steel braided brake lines that were 4" longer and put on the correct fittings. All is fine now...

I can't see why people are saying you can't use them with ABS. The only thing I can think of is that you may have a different fitting at the front than non abs systems have (where the flex line meets the hard line).

AS for the rear, our '92 has rear ABS, and there is nothing special about the fitting back there.

just go down to the local 4wheel shop and order some stainless steel lines, i think they are skyjacker, they ran me about $80 for front and back
