Extended brake lines

[rangerbum]

I have been on the hunt for an affordable alternative to the spendy and unreliable braided extended brake lines. I was able to find a page about extended brake lines(http://www.therangerstation.com/tech_library/ReplacementBrakeLine_Front.shtml), but found that it was lacking the year, model, or drivetrain of the vehicles these options work on.

The part numbers listed all have fitting sitting sizes of a 10mm banjo fitting on one end, and a 3/8-24 female fitting on the other.

When I looked up my truck(97 2wd Ranger) I found that my fittings are a .375 banjo fitting and 3/8-24 female. The factory hose length is 13.625".

I found that a 2002 Ford F-250 SD 2wd 5.8efi has the same fittings. The passenger side hose is 20.25" and costs about $15 at AutoZone. So order two of them and for thirty bucks you'll have roughly 6.5" longer lines.

AutoZone part number 71061

That looks like some good info. Have you actually tried it?

Has anyone done this?

No idea on those lines, but in my thread I posted the GM lines with pictures and part numbers along with the required T fitting and part number.

2002 F-250 with a 5.8 is going to be a rare bird to track down parts for...

I used those GM brake lines for my D44 swap and they worked great.

Now what we really need is a longer brake line for the rear. Having one custom made is always an option but one off the shelf would be better.
