1971 C10 New 2.5 CPP Drop Spindles Installed and Now the Brake Hoses are Too Short - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I've done some searching on here, but I didn't come up with a definative answer.
I installed 2.5 CPP drop spindles and when I tried to reconnect the caliper to its mount the hose would not allow, as it is not long enough. I think these spindles must move the wheel out an inch or so? I put the wheel on and it fit perfect within the fender, so no issue there.

What brake hoses can i use that fit the 71 hard line connections and are longer than the stock hoses?

The other option is to extend the hard line, which might be the cheapest. Just looking to see what others have done in the past.

TIA
