Brake line kits for a 4x4

Post by Madman »

I see most of the brake line kits available are for 2wd in the catalogs....has anyone used one of these on an F250 4wd? I'm sure I'll have to do some fabricating but don't want to fabricate the whole thing. Thanks!

unless they specifiy pre-bent most brake line "kits" come as sections of straight tubes and you still have to bend them. Id rather make my hard lines myself to make any custom bends I need to make it fit best for my chassis,.

I should have clarified the "Pre Bent Kits" is what I was referring to....but your point for ensuring a good fit is the a good point to fabricating the entire run...

Bend your own and save like 75 percent in cost. Plus you get to keep the tools.

I did this and I really hate plumbing.... even household plumbing.
