Title: Brake line relocating bracket
Post by: Mattsfmj on January 31, 2014, 08:12:15 pm

Hey everyone does anyone have the part number for a brake line relocate kit for a 1984 chevy with a 4 inch lift?

     Most lift manufactures have them, they might be listed as a accessory, did you check with them ?

Are you wanting to do a relocate because the flexible brake line is now too short after adding the 4" lift kit?
If so, I had the same issue and just got longer flexible lines to the front calipers and rear splitter.

or did you go the cheap rout and not by extended brake lines?

Ha Ha !!!  I laughed out loud at this Irish    :D
When I did my rebuild 2 years ago, the kit said it came with brake line brackets and I thought... great !!
It didn't take me long to figure out that I needed longer lines and was happy to just order some and fix the problem correctly the first time.

Well not to tell a long story but so y'all know what I am doing. I had a friend who wreaked his 85 k10 about 2 months before I found the exact 84 I was looking for. So he had a 4 inch lift and 35x14.50 on his truck that was wreaked. I was able to buy the lift ,tires and rims off of him for $250 (I know great deal right?) any way I realized I forgot to get the front/rear brake relocate brackets off his truck when I took of the lift and it has already been junked. So I am trying to find the kit but have had no luck.

Here are the front and rear extended brake lines that would fit your truck. $52 plus shipping.
They are stainless braided. They are what I used on my truck. I'm sure there are other sources but just wanted to let you know from someone first hand.
Good luck.
P.S. You got a great deal on the lift, tires and rims!!
