Default 2001 Dakota 4WD Regular Cab Short Bed Brake Lines

Hi all,

I'm looking to buy a used '01 Dakota Sport 4WD Regular Cab Short Bed, seller says it needs a brake line and a piece of exhaust. (I know it will need more than that), but I'm having trouble finding brake lines for that cab and bed setup. I've checked all the sites that pop up on google when you look for prebent lines and I can't find the kit that I need. I found one that was for a 2WD setup but I'm not sure if they're the same in the front. Could anyone point me in the direction for that?

Also, as a part of my "restoration" of this truck, I'm going to be changing the whole brake system, pads, rotors, calipers, drums, cylinder/booster, etc. Is there any specific brand of pad/rotor/drum that people tend to lean towards? This is my first time messing with a Dodge, I've been more in the Jeep world.

Thanks.

Just get some straight line from your local parts store, with the correct fittings on the end, in a 'close enough' length, and hand bend to fit.

Was thinking about doing that but was looking for a kit just to save the time. I know it’s easy to make the lines but having a pre bent kit makes my life easier

4x4 kit will be very similar. What will matter is rear-only ABS or 4 wheel ABS
