Thanks for reply WS, this is exactly where my confusion lies.

Does this part replace the hardline to the drum? or existing stock hose in middle rear?

They are braided stainless steel. Flexible hose wrapped in stainless mesh tube like a Chinese finger trap.

Wheelers, toytec, ect... all sell them in extended versions.

Thanks DC, I know that but are the rear ones replacing the hard lines from the drum or the single brake hose in the middle rear just in front of spare tire?

The only flexible hoses in the 3rd gen rear end go from the differential to the body. Some have one. Others have 2. [ in front of the spare tire]

The hard lines goto to drums from the line block. Then the flex hose to body back to hard lines.

So which exact line are you talking about?

The picture on the link provided is of the flex hose from the axle to the body. It also describes it as “extended length”. Like you would need for lifts.

There is no indication at all that it could possibly be the hard line.

Ok yep that's it, I didn't realize some had 2 cause in doing research on an old thread someone suggested needing 2 for the rear which led to me thinking going to the drum which is why I was confused. Mine only has one, wrongly assumed all same.

Thanks much for the replies gents!
