Default Russel Performance Brake Lines FOR 2001!

Well, I want to redo my brake lines, and I have heard about russel performance, but I do not see custom lines for 2001 4x4 dodge rams. The only listing for 2001 is for 3" lifted 2wd. And the non-lifted only goes to 94-99.

What gives?

I looked the lines up in Summit and they state russells lines are for earlier trucks. As far as I know EGR brakes make them for 2000 and up.

Thanks dog. I noticed I had that bookmarked in my wishlist fomder for parts (lots of stuff in there). The only thing about the EGR brakes is that they seem to have different versions for the same year and drive. I am guessing because some 2001s had discs in the rear. My 2001 is actually a 2000 & 1/2, as it has drums in the rear. The receipt from the PO actually said it was purchased (ordered) in april of 2001.


I will have to call EGR if I order from them. They are a bit cheaper than russels at 118 per set. But russels has a 3 peice set that includes the rears as well. I need to do some calling before purchase.

2001's did not have disc brakes in the rear in 2001, 2002 maybe but not 2001. 3/4, and 1 tons absolutely!

Have it bookmarked myself. Those lines are so droolworthy! The lines pictured remind me of Dodge ones with the brackets in place.
I need a set of these as well, but it appears I have to have a rear mounted proportioning valve? Is this common on 2 wheel ABS trucks? Where would said valve be located. I'm almost positive mine is up front on the drivers side.
