Extended Brake lines

Hi guys, well I just installed my fox 2.0 front coils along with camburg uca. Very happy with everything! Anyway 8 noticed that the hard line closet to the caliper is pretty rusty... what price of line do the extended lines replace? Tried looking for a parts diagram but couldn't find much. Any help would be great.

 

Extended lines replace the flexible part of the line between the hard line on the caliper and the hardline on the truck body itself.

 

That is correct. If the hard line is rusted it would be best to purchase a new or at lease a good used set...

 

Is there a way to convert the hard line to a braided line? Seems kind of prone to shearing the hard line while off roading

 

talk to @OCTaco if i remember correctly he has someone who makes the brake lines

 

you can do braided lines, but you would need adapters and you might see a more spongy line (but i have never had that issue on my buggy with all braided lines)
if you can you can also just make the hardline from line at most auto parts stores. you could also do stainless line (i have made a bunch of that on other cars)

 

EDIT: reread it, that little line on the caliper i normally remove and do the flex line all the way there. you would need a different line and a adapter.

 

Maybe I'm not hardcore (although my profile picture may suggest otherwise) but I've never seen anyone sheer off one of the hardlines at the brake caliper. That area is VERY well protected considering you have the axle beneath and slightly in front of it.

Will this replace the hard line to the caliper? Really want to fix this before I blow a line lol
