What brake lines to get for lifted c10

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 leather of steel line bolt a bracket to the frame to hold the longer steel lines and hook your hoses back up.

Ahhhh. Smart. Thanks!

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

These are not necessarily the ones you need,just an example, your local parts store has pre-made steel brake lines in a rack lengths from 6 inches to 5 feet. Figure out what you need ,mock it up using coat hanger wire as a pattern,then go buy 3 steel lined the correct length and 3 couplers to screw them to your existing lines.

What fittings (as in a link for part)? Also wouldn't I need 4 steel lines 2 for front 2 for rear?

The amazon pick shows 3 lines 2 couplers the couplers join the steel lines. You can get them at Oreillys, Unscrew the hose screw on the coupler,screw on the new line,screw the hose on to the new line.Oreillys has the steel lines in different lengths ends already on them and you only need three and three couplers,there's only 1 rubber line that feeds a tee to do both sides of the rearend.

Thanks, I'm going to get that 6 inch steel one you have in prev message. Cheap too and can get it in by this weekend.

We spent all weekend getting the old suspension off. Someone screwed up and decided to use nuts as spacers on the passenger side upper control arm. And welded them to the bracket.
The truck pulls and now we're replacing the entire front suspension. Thanks for the help!

I hate to tell you, don't use the ones from Amazon. When you are going back together go buy what you need at your local parts store. The ones from Amazon were examples,not what you need. Get the plain steel ones from behind the parts counter. You will never bend the stainless ones without collapsing them.Bend the steeln9nes slow and careful pull them around paint cans,support posts,old pulleys, what ever,just slow steady contours.

Oh ok. Got it

Anyway looked up C hoses and K hoses ,screenshot both yep very different. So I guess relocating your steel lines is the only sure bet.

Saw all 3 versions of that just never said anything

I'm going to figure out what I need steel line fittings wise tommarow.

Saw all 3 versions of that just never said anything. So you saw the rough country rear line would work,but it's 50.00

I don't think it'll work. It's the first thing I saw.
Every one of them had their own problem.
