Front brake line length

[larrie]

Am prepping our E350 EB, 4" lift by Agile Off Road, for a trip to Baja and noticed that the front brake lines have some spots where the tires have rubbed against them. Should I get replacement lines be a bit longer or the same length? Any druthers about braided SS or rubber versions? Seems like rubber would be ok the tires did not rub on them.

go stainless...about the same price and better technology.

to fix the rubbing, grab some rubber or silicone tubing with an ID smaller than the OD of the hose, slice along the length, wrap around the brake hose and secure with zip-ties or clamps or velcro or ???

there should be a hydraulic hose shop somewhere in town that can make some custom stainless brake hoses!?!
we bought hoses from the auto store, took them to a local hydraulic shop and asked for longer versions.
they matched the fittings and orientation and it was about the same price as the auto store.
