stainless center drop brake lines...

[rfda_454]

Im putting stainless steel braided lines, going with a center drop set up front and rear... What do you think... over the springs or under the springs? i want them out of the way so they wont get hit on anything.

What say you???

Here's what I got G&J aircraft lines for the center drop and out to the calipers....just ziptie em in place!

i also got my lines from G&J. was way impressed with the service and product. thinking i will run em up hi too

Yep, I'm really impressed with them for the price and custom built pieces.

I think running them over is safer than underneath...just less hazards to contend with.

If you are anything like me, you will change your springs more often than your brakelines so mounting the lines under the spring will make R&R easier. I'd run them under the spring but as close to the top of the tube as possible (not on the axle center line) on the back side of the tube. Mounted this way, even if you back into a rock with your front axle, the tube will take the hit instead of the line and there is no risk of the line getting pinched on something (i.e. bumpstop or shock) if you bottom out.

This is how i ran the front last night befor I posted this up. The reason for the post is I WAN just not sure about how they have bend around the diff and ubolts n such, Im going to weld on small bolts for loom holders to keep em up n out of harms way. I'll post pics in my build thread as soon as I get em on there
