    I'm having a real tough time finding front brake lines for what I want to do.
    I've got a 2018 taco, but I'm not sure the brake line threads have changed in the different generations.


    I got front secondary shocks installed, part of the installation was moving the brake line mount showed below. The kit (Icon S2 kit) calls for drilling a new hole in the frame between the bump stop mount and the shock bucket and reusing the factory bracket. I think this is dumb.

    What I want, and I'm having a real problem finding, is some new brake lines that go from the 90 degree elbow mounted to the frame to the caliper itself, or at least from the 90 degree elbow to the connection on the steering knuckle. Picture below is where I want a new line to connect to.

    My problem is that I can't find anything that has a male on one end and female on one end and is ~16 inches long. I've found a few lines that are extended rear lines for a land cruiser that are male on one end and female on the other, but they are 20+ inches long.

    Anyone know where to get either custom lines made? Or a where to get what I'm looking for?

    I could be wrong but I believe @Evenflow ran a brake line kit close to what your asking for made by crown performance. His connected from the caliper to a small bracket on the spindle then ran to the elbow.

    Here’s a pic I found from his in the 6” lift section

    That's exactly what I want!
    I just checked out Crown's website and it's not super clear what exactly the product is. I saw the 5~7 inch lift stuff, but there wasn't a picture (to show the banjo connection on the caliper and male on the other end) and the description just describes the construction, not exactly what ends are on either side of the new brake line.

    I’ll have to dig through the 6” thread. God knows how long ago this was but he had a part/quote number for it. It’s not one of their off the shelf lines. I’ll see if I can find it.

    Here’s a screenshot I took of one of his responses from 2015. Who knows if crown still has this info but everything evenflow has done has been well thought out and built really well. His current build is fricken awesome and he’s also helped me out with a ton of advice as well. Hope this helps

    One more thing to mention is these are for when he had his 6” lift. You will probably need a shorter length for yours assuming your not up that high.

    Awesome, I will give them a call and see what they can do.
    Thanks for tracking down that info!

    Yes
    If that reference # still works it will cover everything that you need except for the length. You will need to mock up what you need with a piece of string or wire etc and then measure it to give them the length. I’m still using the same lines on my LT kit...26F0C088-84F2-48D1-8FD9-736F47E5A2F1.jpg
