    These work even better than vice grips if you can get a hold of some

    For those that have ordered extended brake lines with the 3 inch lift what is the expected length of rear lines?

    Shit. I think I received the wrong ones. The ones I got from @OCTaco are exactly 23" for rear. Fronts measue out to 14.5" and 14.75"

    i told them my lift and they sent me those for them. Then after installing I looked and there was a ton more slack but the front ones are maybe 1-2 inchs longer but they are longer also. just hold one up to the stock one!

    Well in that case it's cheaper to just buy off of headstrong or something like that

    if you only need 23" ones, with @OCTaco 's you can get any length you desire but no need to bash someone's sale thread

    The stock length rear brake lines on my truck measure out to 18.5" when I take octaco ext lines and subtract out the flared connectors, they measure out to 21.5".

    In essence they are exactly 3" longer than stock.

    So I think I'm good to start wrenching.

    Pic attached to show how I measured.
