extended brake lines for my 94 xlt

[jake122288]

ok before i get jumped about searching...believe me i did plenty of it! but i cant find the info i wanted... i did a SOA with sloped body lift and 2 inch coil spacers... but i need extended brake lines and hoses. Where is a good place to get these cheap or what vehicles could i get them for that are longer stock and will still bolt up correctly?

I just went to a local speed shop. I use brake lines from Earles (branch of Holley).

If you bring in your old ones they can easily match them up and give you ones slightly longer.

thank you for the info... what would be the price range i'll be looking at?

Umm.. last time I got a set I think it was "around" $25 per line.. and you need 3. I'll see if I can dig up a receipt (anything is possible).

assuming u mean 3 as in Front left and right and one main rear? and yea i was looking at that the other day with the rear the lines themselves done need extended due to being the same from the box to end of the axle but its the hose that needs lengthened (than runs from the frame rail drivers side to the conjunction box on the diff) idk im honestly slightly confused on the rear extending process the fronts i have pictured in my head... maybe my Ex being buried in a snow drift with tranny problems is a part of this loss of mental imaging! (dont worry the tranny is in teh garage being rebuilt lol)

10 bucks each really janky but really cheap

I have the SS ones from explorerprocomp.com but I think I ordered them from summit.

Off Road Warehouse sells a set of stainless lines for $80 that are made for a 4"-6" lift.

Superduty lines will work. $50

There are kits for less, to make your own.

Id just go to a speed shop or even a hydrolic shop. And tell them how much longer you want them.. you have them the same day.

That exactly why I went to a speed shop for the lines on the Explorer and for the Van. I drove in a different vehicle, handed them what I had, and said give me something longer.

After a bad night of catching a lot of air off a berm and loosing the coil spring, brake lines, fender ect thanks to a 35" bogger and landing minus a coil I was desperate so I took a stab in the dark and grabbed one for a late 70's Ford F-250 High boy. I figured it was the tallest of the stock suspensions without getting into a more modern braking system. It ended up being 6" longer and was only $16? at the time. I had to grind off the locating pin and it bolted right on and worked perfectly. quick and easy fix and they can be purchased anywhere and are always in stock in case of failure

what are those actually for...like specific vehicle application? i only have oreillys within a close distance to me...and i wanna try and find something similar to help me work on the budget im on

 

[jmwright111]

i'm not sure what that thing is meant to be used for. but it had the right ends on it and it was just a short extension, so i dont know. if you can find someone that wants to help you they can probably find it easily something similar if you take it in.
