Longer brake hoses ?
I just recieved my Tuff Country 4" lift and was wondering what or who I can call to get some longer rubber brake hoses . I got the re-location kit but thought it would be better to get the longer hoses. Thanx in advance !

Re: Longer brake hoses ?
I used Inline Tube.You have to approach it as asking them for exactly what you want.Tell them it`s a special application.If they say they only make them to OEM specs ask what do they do for street rods.Measure what length you need.For a 6" lift I got a 24" hose.Tell them what fittings you need including the size and type of seat.I got a jucntion block,too.Also got the pre-bent axle line in stainless.DON`T buy the braided hoses from the lift companies.The front work,but the rear was all wrong,even with adaptors.

Re: Longer brake hoses ?
I bought stainless braided hoses from Xtremecrawlers.com as they sell custom Crown hoses. Really nice stuff and the prices are reasonable. They are jacketed and have billet ends.

Re: Longer brake hoses ?
Yup, Napa has longer rubber hoses, I had them pull the ones for my 72 then start pulling different year chevys until they came up with a longer ones that would bolt right up
