Stainless brake flex lines...

Hi there, anybody have a source for direct fit stainless brake flex lines in factory lengths, not for trucks lifted 4", 6" or 8"+? Not looking for universal lines with adapter on each end, must bolt right in. Thanks.

Those are perfect except that they don't include the short lines that go from the outer ends of the rear axle to the calipers, should be 5 lines total, any ideas?

I noticed they only list 3. I would contact them and see if they offer the rears also. I would be interested in the rears also. I found the site a few weeks ago and didn't get to look into them further.

Subscribed... looking at redoing the rear brake lines, especially as the hard line looks a little - scary ...

The biggest improvement is going to be from replacing the front lines.

sddesigns, off-topic, but what do you plan on doing with the front lines from the ABS system to the front wheels? I had to patch the passenger side where it runs on top of the passenger-side frame-rail, because I nicked the plastic coating a few years back. While doing my ball joints, I noticed it was rotted and starting to weep - glad I caught it at that point. Thing is, the line goes from the ABS module (mounted to the body) to a braided-stainless piece about 6 inches long, then goes hard line on the frame all the way to the passenger side. This is all one piece, and I'm not sure I can get it from Ford anymore...

Since you guys were talking brake lines, I didn't know if these 2 sites might help.

Classic Tube, Preformed Tubing

Inline tube The brake plumbing experts

A friend of mine ordered a complete front to rear stainless setup for one of his older Chevy pickups and the lines were beautiful.
