Need help for brake line :)

Hello. I currently have my tacoma lifted about 1.5 inches infront more than the back. so it looks like its loaded all the time. I added a leaf in the back an it raised it slightly. I was thinking of added a block underneath but I also notice the brake line thats in the center of the axel going to both sides of the axel is really stressed out and i dont think i can manage to put a block under it and not fold it. Its a metal brake line. I was wondering if anyone extended the brake line? and if so what size diameter should i look for and how do i put it together? thanks !

 

Pic?

 

Its the rubber brake hose that is connected to the axel then turns into metal tubes. the one that connects in the center bottom of the second photo
i cant bring the axel down much more before it feels like it will rip out. By the way. sorry about the dirty pics. Too much salt in these chicago roads

 

They make longer brake lines specifically for what you need. Cant remember off the top of my head where I got mine. Check some online 4x4 places. Should find it pretty easy. Probably run you about $20 to $30.

 

or this is the one that comes in the kits (and it comes in "smoke" color)

 

Sweet! Thanks a lot you guys. I had so much trouble looking for it. I asked autozone too and they don't know what part I needed. Thanks again. That red one looks sweet for contrast.

 

the auto store don't carry the extended. you could always buy the same one and have a very long extended line. someone did this and used a spring to keep the slack above everything

 

as an alternative. go to either carquest/advance auto or napa and ask them to check their spec books for something thats a few inches longer. they should be able to get SOMETHING the same day or the following morning. you wont get this kind of stuff at vatozone or o'reillys

 

thanks guys. I will be doing a replacement of the rear axle seals because I notice in the snow when i brake hard the front tires do lock and the rear tires dont. Then I noticed in the rear there is a lot of grease on the rim walls that completely destroyed the paint off the wheel. I bought some new black trd rims and wheels and Im not about to put them on before I replace the seals. I will have to replace the axle fluid as well. By the way the truck has over 300k on it. I dont think it had the seals replaced at all. Any ways I will make a thread and post some juicy photos of the dismanteling and ree building it again in case anyone is interested in doing it. Cheers.

 

I finally got the time to get the brake line in while doing some other mods on the truck thanks again for the help guys
