Extended Brake Line Question

I've searched for about an hour now and here's what I've come up with in regards to budget brake lines for a lifted gen1 explorer:

1. Some fullsize ford truck brake lines will work on the ex and give the extended length needed. (length is 6" question is what models trucks brake lines will work?)

B. Hard lines and/or fittings can be bought at auto parts stores for pretty cheap. (question is what kind of lines and what kind and size of fittings?)


If there are other cheap alternatives, please chime in. I figure this will help me out and whoever comes across this in the future won't have to search through all kinds of pages to get vague answers.

Thanks Guys!

This may or may not work depending on your set-up but Rubicon Express has a 6" hardline extension for $15.95.

Napa has hardlines with fittings already made but i'm not sure how small they go. Anyways, just an option for ya.

I'm pretty sure it's the standard 3/16" brake line. You'll have to check your fittings between the hardline and the softline to see what you got. You can easily make these yourself too with a brakeline flaring tool which you might be able to rent from your local auto parts store.
