Street legal brake hose kits

reason i ask is the steel brake line going from the proportioning valve to the rear brakes rusted/cracked /whatever/i havent replaced it yet broke anyhow no brakes and big pool of brake fluid under the back driver side frame rail. since ill have to bleed the brakes anyhow. otherwise brake parts are good.

my truck is a 95 ram1500 4x2 and the rubber hoses havent been replaced since ive had it, im assuming never

i can get the kit for $105 online

thx for your thoughts in adavance

 

Braided stainless lines don't expand (as much...) when you step on the brake as the stock rubber lines do. Therefore, you get better pedal feel, and more braking power for the same pedal effort. It is considered by most to be an upgrade to the brake system. If you are going to replace them anyway, why not take a step up?

 

I got mine from Summit Racing for $60. I like mine, the pedal feels just a wee bit firmer when stopping. If you are replacing them, they are worth it.

 

hey thx for the infos ...and thx purpl for the summit info i see em at summit for 73.95.... must have gone up in price since you got yours....i think thats cheaper than i can get stock ones loacal

EVERY SINGLE Russell product I've ordered for a 2nd gen dodge truck has been the wrong length. Specifically 00-01 trucks. They can't get it through their head that the hoses are too short. Don't waste your time. Check out crown performance instead. They will make custom hoses in any size/length. I walked in there one day and told them I needed 30" hoses for my truck. I walked back in an hour later and they were done. $60 for kevlar/rubber/steel braid hoses. I HIGHLY recommend them.

 

**** on the 00-01 guys!

 

Thanks TBRO. Link.
