brake line with lift

[Braves dude]

Does anyone gave a part number for front brake hoses once you've put on a 4 inch suspension lift?

if no longer for rear all i do is cut top section of bracket the hose is on and bend down few inches and weld back up. easy to do.

Never thought of that. I have been searching for a direct replacement from a different model.

buy the time you guys search / run all over / get longer rubber ones and get o.k. pedal why not just buy the kit and be done with better lines and direct fit. and if you look around there is cheepr places than ord but not by much.

brakes are a major safty item i will not skip out on.

I have plenty of time, and no where to wheel at the time. I was also looking at the Skyjacker stainless.

ord lines are much better than lift brand lines.

My job consists of me having LOTS of time. So after my searching, and running to 1 local parts store, I had new, longer brake lines. To me, OEM is safe. I have better then OK pedal, and I now know if I ever tear one what the part number is. As well as where to find it.

The link posted by British Slave are the lines i went with. They retained the snap ring on the bracket and everything. They are plenty long for my ~5" of lift. And as for the rear, i just moved/lengthened the factory bracket like previously said.

To the OP, I'm 100% sure ORD's lines are nicer and longer lasting. That was just some previous info I found and used. I was quoted 40$ a hose at the local rubber shop and wouldn't do it, so I found this alternative.
