I was jamming along yesterday installing my D60 front axle into my Blazer. Got it in and what a wrestling match! It was getting really dark and I went to hook up the brake lines and they will not attach to the calipers.

Previous owner put a 6" lift on it and added fancy extended brake lines and the block on the end seems incompatible. It has a wedge shape and hits the lip while still a good distance away.

Any source for extended hoses that will work? I'm in a hurry!
 
What year is the truck and what year are the calipers? 78 or so they switched from standard to metric hardware.
 
I got it. The problem is the Skyjacker lines. It looks like there should be a 90'bend and there is not so the line was at a crazy angle. I ended up putting a set from a 93 K3500 on there and everything is good again
