with the brake and drums being new i decided it was time to replace and upgrade the brake lines. i took the hard line off the axle and replace all with stainlees steel braiding over a teflon line. here are all the parts. the hose from the axle to frame is 32" long i wanted lots of extra for flex (and since i needed more withthe lift i added).
