    More arch does no good when the groove for the retainer clip doesn't come through the bracket.

    That's true. Fortunately I didn't have that problem.

    Thanks for the feedback, I’ll share the info with my buddy and will get back to you. I’m sure there’s a simple solution to the issue. For now, please send the lines back to me.

    So I inquired about purchasing a set last Tuesday and proceeded with a payment on Wednesday, but haven't heard anything back since then. Was hoping to get them early this week. The lack of communication has been disappointing.

    Yes, me too. I'm replacing my rear hard brake lines currently, so I was hoping to be able to install a new flex hose at the same time.

    Hey guys,

    Sorry for the late reply, I've been swamped at work. Both your lines shipped last Monday.

    I'd like a set of front and back silver lines for a 2015 DCSB, putting a 3" lift on it. Thank you!

    Got mine in and installed. The new fittings are a just a little different. Most likely will need to order a few more brake clips. Stacking two on top of each other was what worked for me. Will bleed everything out tomorrow and report back on performance.

    OP delivered and was easy to deal with. Took about two hours going slow.

    I’ll come back with some pics and more info!

    Edit:

    I got the lines installed and bled. I had an interesting time as it was my first go with real bleeding (all four corners). I used the harbor freight vac bleeder kit. It worked great, especially for $22; highly recommend it.

    I got bubbly fluid the entire time. Finally got them all done to see how it went and was fully expecting it to be spongy. That was NOT the case. I used about 16 ounces of fluid total. The brakes are indeed much stiffer and more pleasant. I am highly pleased and would instantly buy them again. Like I said, OP was easy to deal with. He’s a man like us and probably busy. Sure, they didn’t ship out the day after and he didn’t message me back every time he did something, but they came and we’re perfect. I ended up using the original clips except the rear required me to double stack the clips. Then I went to advance auto and got some universal clips and finished the job out right. 10/10. Thanks man!

    I am moving to new house at the end of the month. Was hoping to be have this done by then. Got new tires and rims along with other invasive mods to do. I understand things come up. I've been patient. But it's getting to that point man. Just let us know what's going on is all I ask.

    Hey sorry, for the delayed reply. I've been swamped at work and haven't had time to get on here to reply. I've received payment from both of you and will get these out as soon as I can. I've PM'd you both as well.

    You might be close with that time frame, but honestly it only takes like an hour or so to install these once you actually get them. I’m in VT and I think mine were delivered about 8 or 9 days after ordering. It’s all going to depend on the guy who actually makes the lines and how busy he is. They’re well worth the wait though.

    Thanks for the response. 'Taint my first set o' brakelines, though. Thinking goes if I'm already dirty from rolling around in the dirt installing a lift, I may as well be covered in DOT 3, too. Day off for wrenching is 8/1.
