and make a bracket to lower the rear one?

BJ's offroad has a full set of extended stainless steel braake lines for about the same price. Just so you know.

I dont remember where I came across it but I've heard '95 Chevy G20 van front lines bolt right in and are long enough to use with SOA conversion. At $30 for the pair they get my vote if its true. I never have got around to checking it out though. Maybe one of the other guys here can verify/ disprove the idea.

what would work for the rear? (i know i can make brackets, but i don't want them to get nocked off or hung up)

I'm watching this thread closely, I was going to post the same question later today.:D

Well i hear you about the brackets but, if you're as cheap as me that is how you will do it. Here is my bracketing, not perfect but i haven't had any issues yet. Although it is a new build so we will see.

the rear i just carfully!! stretched the lines and used some bracket i found in my junk pile

the front had alot more line to work with so it was easy. I know my bump stop is a little to long . That is newt on the list.

There are some things I don't mind cutting corners on. Brakes aren't one of them. Your IFSJA discount with BJ's will put the brakelines at $85.00 for all 3.

I've used them before and been very happy. In fact, just installed another set on my current rig.

[cocurtiss]

85 for all three sounds good to me!!!

I used stock '80s Chevy 4x4 truck front hoses and a rear hose from an '80s Dodge truck. They were all several inches longer than the stock hoses and cost around $50 or less for all of them.

I also lowered the front mounting brackets to the bottom hole and tack welded it to keep it from moving. That picked up an inch or two right away.
