Hello guys
I'm looking for steel braided brake line. I searched and found a company that many people here used but it seems their ws is off. Anyone can recommend an alten vendor ?

Thx

I got mine from Independent and they're very well made: Independent4X

I also found the I4X lines to be supurb and easy to install (with no prior brake system experience).

Independent is the way to go - way happy with mine. Waited for three months from an eBay seller (who's still got them listed, by the way) and never received them (did get a refund).

Got mine from I think a retailer named Darlington Offroad Performance or some such, increased brake pedal pressure immediately, worthwhile mod.

Did yall that installed the Indy 4x lines find that there were ~1.5" too long, especially up front?

I noticed that, but am glad that inch & a half was there since the lift.

I think the Independent 4x4 website specifically states that these lines are longer to allow for lifts.

That's why I got 'em! They fit perfectly with my 3" lift. And they seem to work, because every time I press on the brake pedal, my VX stops. So far.

do u have to buy this to get the 3inch lift, or can u still lift it with out buying the brake lines?

**Ldub** · 05/01/2007, 07:03 AM

Maybe not TOTALLY "must have" for a lift, but WAY worth the investment for the increased firmness in the pedal.
Why risk a wreck due to over stressed brake lines ?
And yes, I have been in a car wreck due to brake line failure.

I just added them to my bud's Rodeo this week. Along with everything else that I did for him (He's in Europe, Milan, IT for work and couldnt do it)
Tera-Lows
3" BL
3" lift
33" tires
steel brake lines
manual hubs
swaybar disconnects... all from Matt

but I digress. I have had the Amigo lifted for 7 years now. Still have the factory lines. Never did anything to them when I lifted it originally. I am putting on the Indy4x set of lines this week though. My buddy ordered me a set when we did the parts order.

So, I only have a slight lift, enough to run a 31.5 inch tire. (Torsion bars were cranked to level it) Will I have a problem with these longer lines? And no, I'm not going to be lifting it anymore so sometime in the future isn't a issue.

Shouldn't be a problem, you'll just have a bit more slack.

Thats what I'm worried about, possible chaffing or flexing/kinking. Just hoping someone with a non lifted VX would jump in with a 'Ain't no problem' response.
