Maybe I read the OP as meaning something else, as in he was looking for braided (rubber) hose. As opposed to brake line.

I don't understand how your alloy lines are made. You still need them to flex for tire movement. Can you send me a picture?

They do work, but if you want all 5 soft lines add another 65 bucks for the rear ones.


Thanks, but that is way to high. I might call crown and send them my old ones, but I would have to go and get new lines so the truck would be drivable.


You have to understand, I live in the Rio Grande Valley (texas), and there is nobody down here that I have found that does anything correctly. So, instead of trying to find someone down here that can make the lines, I would prefer to ship 1,200 miles and get them done correctly.
