Brake line question?

What are you guys doing with the flexible brake line that runs to your front calipers? After bagging the front of my 71 I noticed that I'm stretching the black flexible line going to my calipers when the truck is down. Whats everyone doing to solve this issue? Pics would be great.
Thanks

73-87 brake hoses are much longer.

Re: Brake line question?

If your '71 is original,... the steel brake line, on one side, is a different size.
You can install the 73-87 brake hoses with the use of a "inverted flare" adapter on the side that is different.

Your other option is to use steel braided brake lines witn AN fittings.
