You should not use a braided brake line that long, it can cause severe brake fade.

Just try and get the axle to droop and then measure the length you will need.

There is no way you need them that long. I have lines that are pretty dang long but nowhere near that long, they worked in my blazer and it flexed more than any 56" spring or 52" spring I have ever seen. Mine were never even close to tight and I think they are like 30" or something ridiculous like that

You need to flex it I am sure you don't need them that long. I bet most guys here are using off the shelf brake lines.

I helped build Horton (my current truggy) and when we went looking for brake lines we looked in a catalog at a parts store and found a stock application that would work, I think they were 25" long, I don't think they ever got tight either.

I only swapped on the longer brake lines cause thats what I had when I put my axles under Horton

You can check inlinetube.com. They make custom lines and hoses, but yah, 4' sounds extreme, I would have some sort of drop down bracket with a hardline if possible.
