Extended front brake line

[fatboy]

I think I have an extended front brake line for a 3.5" lift but I am not 100% sure. Anyone have a length measurement for an extended brake line or a stock one (or both) that I can use to determine what I have for sure? Lift will be 3.5".

The extended brake line I bought from WH's is appox. 22" long.

And once you've seen them installed, it's pretty easy to tell the difference. A stock one is going to have some slack, but not that much. An extended one is going to have a very noticeable "dogleg" shape when the Bronco is just sitting on the ground.

And since there were not that many stock-length braided stainless hoses used, if you have a braided hose, it's probably better than a 95% chance it's extended length.

That's all just fluff though. Garberz gave you the straight dope right there.

Here is a picture of my front of my extended brake line.

even with extended brake lines i still had to make a spacer to mount the line down from the frame. Mine is with a 5.5" lift though.

That's got less room than mine does normally savage, but since you don't even have an engine in it yet, you won't know until it sits at ride-height whether or not any particular component is going to be correct.
But it sure looks long enough to me, factoring in that it's sitting at least a couple of inches higher than it will be when loaded up.
