Customize my brake lines...

[ericpost]

This is my REAR brake lines which start at the rear of the truck near the gas tank.

Currently my hard brake lines run in there stock location down the frame rail to a bracket. The bracket is close to the exhaust and the flexible line runs from the bracket to the center of the diff. Once at the diff there is a block which splits the fluid to each calipers. The 14bff has an off center diff which is a change from my 14bsf.
Oh and I just lifted the rear 6"....

Long story shoirt I plan to re-work the rear brake lines.

After looking at it for a bit I decided to run my hardline from the frame to approx the center of the truck. I'll tack a bracket up there which I'll use to go from a hard line to a flex line. I plan to run a 24" flex line from the bracket to the block at the diff. The 24" flex line length will allow for the additional 6" of lift and also allow an additional 7-8" of flex. This will allow the line to go straight down to the diff and be no where near the exhaust. I then plan to run hard line, one 12" and one 18" due to the diff stagger, from the block to brackets which I'll tack to the the axle housing. These brakets will be where I transition from hard line to flex line. From there I'll finish the job with 18" of flex line to the calipers.

Anyone got some alternative suggestions or concerns?

Is allowing for 7-8" of flex in the flex line enough?

Can I run flex line from the block at the diff all the way to the calipers?

Any other ideas?

FYI:
I'm planning on using braided SS flex line.
