I have a 1990 1/2 ton suburban
I pulled 10 bolt axles out, and I'm swapping with Dana 60 front and a gm 14 bolt rear. The suburban currently has a 6 inch leaf spring lift kit. Can anyone help me find the correct brake line/extension kit that I need for the Dana 60 front and gm 14 bolt rear? Also, I do plan on converting the rear to disk brakes down the road, what is the best by on a rear end disc conversion kit? And would the brake lines for the rear drum brakes also work for the disc brake conversion? Btw, front and rear axles came out of a cucv vehicle if that helps. Any help is appreciated, thanks!

You can buy extended stainless brake hoses from several companies, or get replacement front hoses from a '92 or so C1500 pickup. They are a little longer and have the right ends on them.

What do I look for as far as ends are concerned.

yep several companies sell the extended lines. when you convert to disc you need to put rubber/stainless lines on the rear calipers, don't worry about this until you do the conversion. highdesertranger
