Re: Front brake hoses

I am sure you can get longer lines that will fit your truck from places like Inline Tube or any other brake and fuel line company.

Re: Front brake hoses

71-72 one ton dually hoses. They are longer but otherwise the same as half ton hoses. That's what I've used on a couple of trucks that I lowered.

Thumbs up Re: Front brake hoses

I ordered my S/S front lines from here on E bay. He will make them any length you want them also.

Get out and drive the truck this summer and have some fun!
It sucks not being able to hear!

LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB!
After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.
