At that point your frame may kick up and it's not as low as it looks right there but I can't tell. It looks like, if needed, you might be able to run your lines through that speed hole in front of your Wilwood adj bias. Again, that's how it looks in the pic but may not be the case.

The whole thing looks awesome!!! A thing of beauty!!!.

Even sitting on a lift it still looks fast.

big_al_71 · 01-13-2013, 10:14 AM

WOW!!!!

I am beyond impressed...

And the pix of the inner fenders are forthcoming I hope?!?

Dinos63 · 01-13-2013, 07:32 PM

holy shhhh-- this truck is sic!

**superflysteiny** · 01-13-2013, 10:36 PM

Thanks guys appreciate all the nice comments on the truck. As far as the brake lines go they are not below the lowest part of the frame. Also they are up a lot. And when this truck is fully aired out the frame is at least 2 inches off the ground. There is really not a lot of room to run things on this frame being round and all of he gussets. Hope this helps. Thank again guys

Good to hear, I thought it might just been the angle of the pic.

**superflysteiny** · 01-13-2013, 10:45 PM

I thought about the samething you did but with the exhaust running through there I really don't have a ton of options. I know you don't want anything hanging under the truck. Lets hope nothing comes up that high and hits it. I am thinking I have it up high enough but I will look to see if I can relocate it but I am sure this was my only option of I want to keep the proportional valve out of sight. I may build something to protect the line. Better to be safe then sorry

Maybe a piece of steel plate to protect them? Maybe a strip of milled billet aluminum mounted flush with the frame that has two cut outs for the brake lines to run through?
It's certainly not my truck and mine probably won't be this nice either, lol, but I wouldn't be comfortable with brake lines hanging under the frame that close to the ground. Just my $.02.

**superflysteiny** · 01-13-2013, 10:58 PM

Point taken and I agree
