Skyjacker RBL44 is a nice rear brake line, I fabbed a new bracket for the hard line to braided line connection point. Lots of length for your 6.5 lift, main interest is when suspension is at max drop. Do you run drop limiting straps? Skyjacker makes extended lines for the front but I don't know the part#. At the front one can relocate the hard line termination point lower on the inside wall of the fender well. That helps when running stock length flex lines.

Buy the crown lines on CF from a vendor!

These lines are fantastic. The price is right and the quality is top notch. These might not work for your 6.5" lift but he should have what you need. Great guy and fast shipping!

Ditto on the Crown Performance lines.

link--> http://www.crownperformance.com/


*I ordered directly form Crown, mainly because the are about half the price of shipping as Rusty's and they make the lines that rusty's uses. I think the lines are $5 more there but about $15 less in shipping and were a breeze to deal with. Any name brand line in the appropriate length should work fine, not much to brake lines.

Ha! Good call. Guess I should look at the dates before I repost. I usually do actually, just spaced this one I guess.
