    This might have been covered already, but after 3/4 a bottle of wine, I'm not about to sift through 27 pages to find the answer.

    How much longer than stock lines are these?

    Mine are 1" longer to compensate for my 3" lift.

    thanks, it was fairly easy, I didn't even jack the truck up or take a wheel off. Here's some quick steps for anyone considering brake lines.

    -Started with the fronts first, turn the wheels full lock to the right and started with the left brake. Remove the retainer clip and use a flare nut wrench to loosen the lines on the hardline and caliper.
    -Install with the new stainless line.
    -The Clip needs to be bent with a higher arc as the new lines have more of a gap between the fitting and the mount.
    -Double check make sure nothing it caught or rubbing.
    -Then turn the wheel full lock to the left and repeat above steps for the right

    The rear is all located on one side as you can see in my pictures.
    -Loosen the hard lines up top first, then remove the retaining clips
    -Now disconnect the top lines and do the same for the bottom.
    -Install the new lines
    -Remember to re-bend the clips with an higher arc
    -Reinstall clips, check to make sure they won't come off
    -Check for any rubbing and make sure nothing is caught on anything
    -Bleed the brakes

    Hope this was of help to anyone considering getting some brake lines. Overall my brakes feel a bit more "solid". Might just be me trying to justify them, but either way they look good.

    Just ordered the brake line kit from OCTaco last night, wondering what brake oil the guys that have done this used? I'm assuming that I will lose a lot of oil once I disconnect the oem lines.
