What is the problem with them Gregg? Did you order braided lines from Brakeman or are you referring to the entire system?

I'm guessing these are longer than standard Ford E350 2wd vans brake lines.
Yep, my 2002 Quigley also has the K3500/K30 front axle.

Find a local shop that makes lines, I swapped over to stainless braided when upgrading the rotors/pads. I took all the old lines in so they could just replicate. With all the variations we all have, I would not feel confidant on ordering up a "kit".

Dave ,
The entire system has been insufficient since we took delivery , and I am still unable to change out the system myself after my surgery's , so I am looking to have it sorted out by someone familiar with this undersized addition . I seem to remember someone changing out their Booster and lines but was unable to find it in the archives , maybe it was all a Dream !
