Rough Country Lift - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

So i bought a lift for my 76 3/4 ton. Everything went on fine. Front lift springs, rear blocks, rear extended brake hose. Then I get to the front hoses. They wont fit. They are the right length, but the banjo bolt for the caliper is too big to go through the new fitting. I went to autozone and had them pull me a replacement caliper and hose to verify that mine were correct. Turns out they are and the stock hose has a larger opening then the one from Rough Country. I call rough country and they dont know what happened. Maybe a faulty hose build. So they send me new ones and they still dont fit. I am %100 sure its a dana 44. Im %90 sure that they are stock correct axles front and back. I just dont know why they dont fit. Does anyone have any suggestions???? Any other problems like this from Rough Country?

10 bolt and Dana 44 took different sized banjo bolts.
If I had to guess, I think the Dana 44 took 7/16 size
and the Corp10 (and Dana 60) took 10mm bolts.

The axles may be stock, but the calipers might be swapped.

Pictures of axle and wrong parts.

Here is the brake line. Its got the wrong size hole in it. I went ahead and bought a new line from autozone, sized it and got the right size drill bit. Drilled out the rough country lines and got em on and bled. What a pain in the ass. Rough country idiots are clueless.
