How are you guys routing your rear brake lines after converting to disc?
I have captain fabs brackets installed for the D52 calipers and everything on, just not sure how to route the flex line. Are you guys going over the leaf springs or under? I don’t have a flip kit so my springs still sit on top of the axle. Any pictures or feedback would be great. Thanks!

Re: How are you guys routing your rear brake lines after converting to disc?
So this is what I have currently mocked up. Thoughts? The loop down wasn’t ideal but the shock mount and leaf spring perch seem to force me further towards the differential.

My Caddy with rear discs uses a pretty short rubber brake hose, like 6 inches. I wouldn't want too much hose flapping around

Yea I think I am going to aim for a much shorter routing.

I used a shorter flex line and made the connection to the hard line just inside the shock mount. I have my axle flipped. You don't want the flex line hanging very lose.

Looking much better. I drive through gnarly bushes and rocks so I would be trying to loop that to the upside.
