14 bolt brake lines

[SchnorrCS]

So I'm doing the 14 bolt swap, and I had some flex lines made to go all the way from the caliper to the "T". anyone see a problem with routing them over the tops of the springs rather than under? Was thinking it shouldn't matter, as long as they are hooked to the axle tube. I was gonna use zip ties until I can come up with a better idea. Any thoughts?

Thanks

Are you going to be running them down to the axle after they go over the springs? I don't really see any problems doing it this way. I ran mine behind the spring perches. For mounting them, I made some tabs that I welded to the axle tube. But I used stock front lines for the calipers, so they had the threads on the end to do this.

It might be a pain to remove the rear end or springs later on.

Yea, I'll run them down along the tubes. I don't really think it will make either to much harder take either spring or rear axle out. Either way you have to detache brake lines to remove the rear axle, right??

Other than the extra cost to do that instead of short flex lines to hard line, no.

I ran mine over the springs, and the hardlines are ziptied to the axle until I decide on my shock mounting.

Not if you go discs.
