Ok so I exploded my rear end a few weeks ago. Decided to go ahead and take this time to do my 8.8 swap. Got a good one from a 98 Explorer. All in all it has been fairly easy and straight forward ( although I had to dig kinda deep into my pockets to get my welder but it was worth every penny. ((Lincoln 180 Dual Voltage For $900 
))
Well I have ran into a bit of a bind with my brakes... when they cut the line they cut it on the hard line from the exploder all in all not really screwing me but hurting a bit... See I have a lift so the 16" soft line is too short... It does not reach to axle, I measured and I need at minimum 22-23" to make up for travel in the suspension. Problem is I don't have the slightest idea on how to do brakes so I need some technical help and I nee to know what parts to buy... Here are some pics of what I am working with not sure if any of them will help...
Here is the new 8.8 caliper on the right was in a supre bind pretty much welded to the rotor from sitting that way for so long...
Here is the Driver side fitting, the splitter goes to a solid line to the passenger side witch i have i just need to put it back on. the soft line goes to driver caliper Top line goes to the frame its the short one...
Here is the connection on the B2 that I need it to go to 22-23"inches above the axle
More pics of the fitting the the cut line
This is the old line coming from the B2 it doesnt reach and I dont know what to do lol...
So that is my brake problems....
Next I have an issue with my parking brake that I am hoping to fix.... they cut the line in the middle instead of giving me all the parts they gave me the rear cables and stuff here is what I am looking at for those...
Drivers and passenger line and proporsioner
Where it was cut
Where it needs to attach to the B2
Line Coming from B2
Line tensioner from the b2 not sure if i can use it for anything...
Sorry for all the pics but as they say picture say a thousand words when you don't know the proper terms for things it helps...
I know there is a guide some were that probably tells me everything I need but i have looked for a couple days and cannot find it...
Thanks guys in advance for all the help. Sorry for the spelling errors I am too lazy to fix them all
