I have a 97 f250 with a d50 ttb front axle. A few months ago I bought a ball-joint d60 off a 97 f350 donor truck from craigslist to do a sas. I'm currently gathering all the parts and accessories to completely rebuild the d60 and prepare for the swap. My question is, when I finally swap the axles out, will I need to buy extended brake lines to reach the caliper. I have done countless searches but have been unable to find such mentioning. Any advice is appreciated.

 

You should not need extended lines unless you lift it,under 4 inches of lift I would think you would be clear

 

Best to check condition of the rubber and go from there, they will be much easier to get to with everything out of the way. Mine are pretty crusty but I maintained my factory lines for my d60 swap.

 

Are you talking about the rubber hoses or the steel lines. I would think a place that sells suspension and body lift kits would have what you need for the rubber lines. For the steel add a coupler and run the line to where you want it and re flare it.

 

Good to know. Thanks for the info.

 

Mine look to be in pretty good condition. I'll look them over more thoroughly when I get everything apart. 19 years old it might be a good idea to change them anyways.
