what brake lines can you use with a 4" lift

[9140]

just wanted to know if there was any stock brake lines you could use with a 4 inch lift like maybe a f-150 or 250. thanks for the help

Much of Ford is pretty interchangeable, such as the brakes. I wouldn't be surprised if 80's F-250 highboy flexible brake lines didn't just snap right on.

I used the stock brake lines when I had 4" of suspension lift and extended radius arms.

I relocate mine to the rear of the soring hangers instead of the front - saves them crossing over the spring - which leads to trouble once you really start flexing it out.

Then I used stock 92 Cherokee lines, which bolt right up - and allow for about 18" total travel when mounted rearwards.

To get the lines to the rear, I bent new hardlines from the master cylinder down to both sides. Cost is minimal, as the generic hardline only costs about $5.00 a stick - Time wise, it took me less than an hour to totally finish the task, including bleeding them out. As far as location, I made them come out on the frame rail behind the shock. There is a hole there, and I passed the hard line through that hole, then bolted the tab to the frame rail.
