New 3'' Lift having brake line issues.
Hello everyone,
I just recently purchased the 3'' leaf and spring kit from rustys offroad. Now i have installed everything and seems to be doing just fine, however. my rear soft line portion of my brake line is almost stretched to its limit. I have recieved a bracket that is apparently supposed to extend this line but i dont see how.
I have looked at where it could potentially hook into but dont see how it will work. Does it mount where the soft and hard line meet at the frame rail????
-Thx chris

Yes, thats where i thought it would hook into but it seems there wouldnt be enough slack even to put a bracket in place. It goes hard line to soft line. the soft line has a inch of play as of sitting in the driveway. is it hard to swap out a braided line and tap into that 3 way splitter block mounted on the diff?

So does anybody know of any threads relating to this possibly with photos of installataion? Or possibly know of any websites i could visit for purchasing a braided real brake line?
I appreciate any help you guys have.

Thank you much. So should i just call the parts store and ask for the line?
I think the line is integral meaning the splitter block cant seperate from the axle portion of the line. Is the dakota line the same? Im guessing it is also longer.....
