    MAYBE.

    The stock Tundra mounting bolts are definitely shorter than the Tacoma caliper bolts. I read that one guy had a problem with the Tacoma bolts bottoming out. Not everyone has this problem, though, not sure why. To be on the safe side, I used the Tundra caliper bolts that I got with the used calipers that I got from the wreckers.

    Bumping this thread... I just ordered a Tundra Kit. My truck currently has AllPro SS brake lines. Anyone know if these will work? Is it a matter of the bolt itself that Wheeler's uses that makes them compatible? Thanks

    +1 on the Wheeler's Offroad brake lines. I used them when I did Tundra Brake swap and they have worked great since then. Easy to install and no drilling required. They also look great unlike the original rubber lines.

    I'm a huge fan of the LC Engineering brake line set. Unlike Wheeler's, they gave you the stock hard brake lines like it originally came on the Tundra and Sequoia.

    Total preference at this point, but I like having the stock Tundra setup.

    I think they should work.... Before I got a line wrench I used my stock lines but used the bolt that came with my ss lines.

    Thanks for the input. I’m guessing they would but it’s nice to hear from someone who’s used lines other than wheelers and LCE.

    I guess I could just try it and add to the knowledge base whether or not it works
    :notsure:

    Bumping the thread,

    Is there a clip holding the stock soft lines to the hard lines in the front? The attachment point is opposite of the fender well which makes it really tough to see whats going on back there.

    Also, 10mm flared wrench for the stock hardline?

    I'm a 2001 and had the bottom out issue.

    Another alternative is goodridge SS lines. I used the 4" extended versions (knew I was going mid travel when I put them in). Like all the other aftermarket options it was no issue. In hindsight I'd be partial to the LCE kit simply due to being more OEM like with the Hardline section.

    I know this is an old thread but I need a little help. I am ordering the Stop Tech kit, part number
    $546 KC2324 Power Stop Brake Kit For Toyota Tundra Sequoia Caliper Casting #13WL - Z23 Daily Driver Front Caliper Kit, Drilled and Slotted Brake Rotors, Carbon-Fiber Ceramic Brake Pads Replacement, KC2324
    KC2324 with the 13WL calipers. I found it on Amazon for about $330. I dont want to have spongy brakes so I figured I would upgrade the lines too while I am doing this. I am looking at the wheelers brake lines, $72.50 right now for the tacoma lines. Am I understanding you guys correctly that these will fit on my tacomas hard lines and the 13WL caliper without modification? I would rather not have to drill out the bollt.

    Spongy brake lines are a result of the 231mm calipers instead of the 199mm. The stock master cylinder can't handle that much fluid movement so it takes a little more pedal to get the brakes to work. I went with the 231mm and got used to the pedal after a week or so. I did wheelers synthetic lines and had to stack two thick copper washers on the nut (caliper side) along with a thin one (bolt head side) to make it so they worked with the powerstop brakes.

    Its taking me less pedal movement to brake now but I do notice that from time to time when I brake I do have to push a bit more because it feels like the pads aren't gripping.

    I have a pair of the red wheelers for sale that I bought for this upgrade. Used them for like 6 months and now I put in long travel so that came with new longer lines. PM me if interested!
