Do you need an extended brake line kit?
We are Open for Business…Stay Safe out There! Extended stainless steel brake line kits are designed to replace stock rubber brake hoses on vehicles that have been lifted 4″ or more. Steel braided lines will not swell under increased braking pressure demanded by larger tires, thus delivering a quick and positive braking response.
What happens when a brake line goes bad?
Over time brake lines are exposed to the exterior elements and eventually they will rust away, creating a rupture, therefore losing braking power. If the line does fail, you will lose a substantial amount of braking performance and the brake pedal will feel spongy along with longer pedal travel.
Can a stainless steel brake line swell under pressure?
Steel braided lines will not swell under increased braking pressure demanded by larger tires, thus delivering a quick and positive braking response. All stainless steel hoses we sell comply with D.O.T. specifications.
