What brake lines to get for lifted c10

[randomTruckKid]

I can't find any extended brake lines for 79 c10. I need 6" lift ones.

Thanks

have you tried Skyjacker?
i got a set of their 8" lift stainless brake lines on my crewcab, and their DOT

Brake Lines - Skyjacker Suspensions

Skyjacker® brake lines are manufactured from high quality braided stainless steel to provide the best protection from salt, rust, and other elements. The lines have a smaller inner diameter to increase brake system response. Each one is teflon lined for added durability and dependability...

I got a set from Inline Tube - was for a 4-6" lift and too long for my use.

Worth mentioning, I “think” the split between light and heavy duty brake hoses is 1/2 and 3/4 ton the same. Heavy 3/4 (C6P) and 1 ton the same.
My C6P 3/4 ton is a different design than K10 and light K20s.
I found both types to be plentiful and had no issue getting the right length.
Just measure what you got and add the appropriate length.
Heck Amazon has a full set front and back chinesium ones for $99
But ORD, superlift, skyjacker, 4 wheel parts are a few places pretty certain to have them.

Alot of the websites I looked at Said the lines were for 4wd trucks only.
I have a 2wd

That’s right. You’re building a donk. I forgot.
Umm, yeah probably not a big market for old lifted 2wd. However great chance the fittings are exactly the same 2wd to 4wd.
I’d either order a Scamazon set of 4wd ones with plan to return if not the same or take a trip to the local Vato Zone. Have them pull a c10 brake hose and a k10 hose and compare the fittings. Then you know for sure.

Could this work? https://www.oreillyauto.com/detail/...brakebest-22-3-8-inch-brake-hose/bhs0/bh98922

It says 22 inches. I can't seem to find any info on stock length. Like a idiot I forgot to measure mine before leaving the shop.
The extended k10 ones I found were 18".

Found them. Here's what I ordered:

I used the rear line but the fronts were too long. They are braided stainless and measure 25" long. If you have any use for them, shoot me an offer.

If I buy the fittings I need then the hose. I could just cut it to size? Right?

Just add to your existing steel lines and relocate the end to use your stock hoses, 3 couplers 3 steel lines,a little common sense,fab some brackets or zip tie them.done!

Don't quite understand? I just need to extend the rubber part.

Extend the steel lines that the rubber lines screw to,then use existing rubber lines. I took a pic for you the steel line is behind the rubber line unscrew the rubber line add an appropriate length of steel line, bolt a bracket to the frame to hold the longer steel lines and hook your hoses back up.
