Extended Brake Hoses

[81K10EASTTN]

I’ve got a 81 K10 with a 4” lift. I got the truck the way it sits and the brake lines on the front were shot due to being extended to the max. I ordered the ones from skyjacker but my banjo bolt won’t go thru the fitting that came with the hoses. I drilled them out to fit the banjo bolt but I haven’t installed them yet. Is there a place to just get the fitting to screw my line on to? Also why is the factory line have the t shape?

Factory line has tabs so it's easier not to rotate when tightening and classic tube in lancaster ny will probably have whatever your looking for

When I lifted my 84 k10, I used brake hoses from an 88 c2500 7200lb gvw truck.

If I remember right, the fronts were 4” longer than the originals on my 84, and the rear was about 3-1/2” longer.

Direct bolt ins and available at most any parts store.

I would go for stainless steel braided brake hose. They are tough and you don't have to worry about them for a long time.
