Default Quick brake line question

Theine that goes from my rear end to the body won't reach. Its about 14 inches long. Is it the wrong one or do I have ride height issues?

14 inches should be plenty, unless somethings been changed. I put braided stainless lines on mine. They'er a bit longer, but pricey. You can use a different application. I think the rear line from a later 80's/early 90's Ford full size pick up and/or Bronco is about 18-19 inches long and has the same connections. We've had to deal with this issue on old lifted vehicles with obsolete parts. Take the short one to the parts store and find one that will work.

Oh cool. I think I'll go with one of the ford hoses. I managed to get the axle closer to the body but it still seems like it would yank on the 14 inch hose at full travel
