Steel Braided Brake Line

acamcl · #1 04-23-2013, 05:45 PM

So I have lifted my '07 Ranger Sport 3.0 Auto. I need longer brake lines. What do you recommend? I can't seem to find an actual aftermarket fit.

As long as the two end fittings match up any line should work. I think

Try F-150 lines. I heard somewhere the fittings are the same but don't know if its certain years or all. I do know they will be longer.

150 lines Do not fit, f250 lines do fit. I got my DOT stainless steel lines from Polypreformance, anything with a 3/16 inverted flare fitting and a 10mm banjo will work just be careful how you route the new brake line.

with the superlift 15-20 in lines work well and give room to route. for the rear I used a 22in line. it has the same 3/16 fitting on one end and a T fitting for the other end wtih 2 3/16th outlets.

Bump! I'm looking for some steel lines for the front of my 98 but can't find any online. I was able to find one for the passenger side but the driver side one I can't. It has a block at the end of it that two hard lines go into and I can't find any with that. Anyone know where I could find it?

It has this end.

Also what size banjo bolt is used in the caliper?

So the 10mm would work?? I just don't want to order the wrong ones and go thru the hassle of returning them.

Nevermind I did the research and found out it will work. Thanks!
