Extended brake lines
« on: August 25, 2008, 08:35:40 pm »
Okay, I have put a 4" rough country kit in my truck which is a 78 3\4 and I want to purchase extended brake lines for it. Where do I find them? The only ones that I can find are from 4 wheel parts and are skyjackers. Thats all fine and good but they have 2 different styles listed, one for 7200 GVWR or less and the other for 8600 GVWR or greater. I don't have a clue which truck I have, how would I find that out? Are there any others out there?

I get mine from a local speed shop. I don't recall what the brand is.
 Your GVW should be on your registration, or on your left inner fender.

Just use drop brackets, relocate the hose and you should be fine.

The ones I got from 4 wheel parts are Pro Comps. I would guess the higher gvwr is for a 1 ton.

bought some bullet proof Kevlar ones from superlift, pricey, but should be good for a long time.

Part number is 89360.

I went back and looked and I was wrong, I got mine from http://www.rockymountainsusp.com/W_brakes_GM.htm

You can also get them directly from the Rough Country website:  http://roughcountry.com/chevy_4wd_77-87_4.html  Scroll down and you'll see "Select Year".  Just choose 78 and add it to cart. 

You can get them from either site; they are the exact same price, $34.95.  I don't know RC's shipping costs but from Rocky it was $4.

It's for a 4" lift.  They are pretty long and would work on a 6" lift, too.  On the RC site, however, you can choose from 4", 6" or 8" lift.

  I assume the 34 bucks are for each of them.
Thanks goatbeard.

$34 is for the pair of front brake lines (everything you see in the pic is $34)...  It's a great deal for extended brake lines!

They don't look too shabby mounted, either!
