Custom Length Brake lines?

[bigred2004]

Ok well I have a '84 Grand Waggy and so far ive put 4" springs on the front, 3" blocks on the rear, 10" custom SOA/shackle reversal on the front, with a custom 10" shackle flip on the rear. Im using chevy axles with a D300 right now, but my question is..... the only place I can find extended lines for a Wagoneer is BJ's offroad but they only show for like 10" of lift. Im thinking us just using chevy lines but I dont know how long to get them.... Should I just run down to my local parts store and measure factory chevy lines and go from there??? Or is there a better place to order them? Im guessing ill spend about $100 for the set no matter what.

Nobody??? I can't believe that none of you people have had to get custom length brake lines........ Some people just dont like to be helpful

You can get brake lines for a 10" lift from BJ's. Then you lower the brake line mounts lower below the frame.

Curious how you are going to get a front drive shaft to work.

How about canning the attitude?!?!?!?!?! It's a Sunday, dude... most folks don't get on here on the weekends. A little patience and a decent attitude will get you all the help you want.

Peace...

Thanks guys.... sry about the attitude. Ive just been goin crazy trying to find the right brake lines. My D300 is clocked down a little and I have my D44 cut & turned with high steer. For now im just running a chevy D44 & 12 bolt. Its just a budget project. Does anybody know the actual length of the lines that come from BJs Offroad?? I found some chevy lines that are 24" front and 18" rear. Thats about what I need...... But I really dont wanna spend $110 on lines MADE for my jeep that wont reach.

Check out your local NAPA. AFAIK, they can order custom hoses. Here in CO, jsut north of Denver, there's a shop that speacializes in just that. Tubes n Hoses.

I guess one of us should have pointed him in ya'll's direction. Maybe too many of us just assume that everyone knows who you guys are. Sorry...

[bigred2004]

Haha yea.... I forgot about y'all being on this forum. Thanks alot Ill definately be going with your lines now.

[bigred2004]

Does BJs make custom length lines? Or do y'all only sell off the shelf lengths?

[TPICherokee]

If you need longer, let me know, we can get them custom made for you. They might be a little more expensive unless I can add them to a regular order. Thanks!

Even the long G30 van lines are only 22" in length (versus 19" for the Blazer hoses vs. 12" for stock) ... sounds like custom length from BJ's is the way to fly hi...

[AlsChopShop]

you can get custom lines from any parts house, and shouldn't be too expensive. i was quoted $10 a line (not braided or fancy) from my parts guy.

Don't know where you are in Texas, but there's a shop in Arlingtom who has all the equipment to make whatever you need...he's one of two shops in Texas that is actually certified by the State to fabricate brake lines for street driven vehicles.

[bigred2004]

Well Ill contact BJs privately and work something out.
