Cheap Way to Extend Rear Brake Line

[zainyD]]

I have a SAS'd 96 Ranger with approximately 6" of lift in the rear and I am in need of an extended, rear brake hose. Does anybody have a part number for a longer replacement that I could find at a local auto parts store, something that bolts up without the need to modify anything? I would prefer not to have to buy an aftermarket hose if possible.

Thanks for your help!

should be able to buy them at just about any decent parts store, break lines are a lot cheaper then not stoping and having a hooooooooo shit moment, cost should not be a factor

Get the first half of the hose. It will be 10 bucks. The part number are on the second list below where it says you will need one hose from each list below.

The original brake hose is plenty long enough and is easier to find when you need to replace it. You merely need to lower the top mounting point. I cut it off and add an extension and weld it all together.

Ok, excellent. I looked that article over, but wasn't as thorough as I should have been, because I thought it pertained to the front brakes only.

Time for a trip to the parts store.............

Thats what I did with mine, and i'm running around 6" of rear lift.

I just bent the stock bracket down, and then ran a new brake line up to the front. I'm running 5.5" - 6" of lift.
