PMF Braided SS Lines

Okay, those of you who have used these, is this excess of length normal? I told them I have aift, but damn...

This is mine front right line. Call me crazy, but that line looks a little long. furthermore, that stock bracket is hell and a half to get off of the original cable. Is it worthwhile to take the time to do that? And since it’s an 18 mm head instead of a 16, will I have to drill it out?


This is the rear center line. The yellow arrow points to the union, And the blue points to where the PMF line ends. It’s about 11 to 12 inches longer than the factory line. Again, is this normal? I feel like it’s excessive, but I have never done braided lines before.

I’d say there was a big miscommunication. My lines are for a level and they seem to fit perfect, the rear was pretty close to the stock length I believe.

I also just now noticed this discrepancy in angle between the OEM and PMF rear driver line. The PMF won't sit behind the shield. Is that a deal breaker?

DId you fat finger it and type in that you have a 14" lift instead of a 4" lift? That's some Florida 12" mud racing lift stuff.
