Brake Question - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

SuperDavesYJ · 04-18-2005, 02:44 PM

I was wonder if anyone has done this, If so how does it work. I am tired of my brake line rubbing on my tires, my shocks & what ever else. So I was thinking about running my front brake lines like the rear line. Then at the knuckle run a short braided line to your caliper. I am not sure if it will even work thats why I am looking for some input.

Thanks
Dave

I was thinking of doin the same thing on my jeep. The only thing would be that you would need more flexable line which isnt really cheap.

no problem running it this way, some trucks are like this from the factory. Obviously there is only one outlet on the MC so it doesnt really matter where you T it off.

Have you thought about using a spring to hold your current lines out of the way so they don't rub on things?
