Finished my rear brake line today....now they are all done....lines, clamps ect
As you may be able to see in the pics I've gone from my rear calipers with a custom hose to a tab I welded on the axle tube, then to a hose assy from an s10 blazer for the center rear drop. The hoses and the hard lies run on top of the axle tubes. After done, I started thinking about busting or loosing a coil over shock. (not sure if that could happen or not) but if I do, the top of the slots in the bed sides for the axle will contact / cut the hoses in half. I determined this by taking the shocks out and slowly lowering the frame down. I'll need some suspension bump stops to protect the whole she-bang. Normally the bump stops would contact the top of the axle tubes....or at least they do on my Dakota.
I'm thinking about going from frame rail to frame rail at the kick up just in front of the proportional valve and bump stopping against my upper 4 link bars. They are very heavy duty at 1.5" dia and I believe 1/4 wall. It won't run on these stops and they would only serve if I were to break a shock..... Not sure if you can see this in the last pic but it's all I seem to have.
