Extended axle/drop ss brake line lengths

[tv4184]

I should do a better inventory of my stuff but turns out I have two sets of ss brake lines one from Toytec and a set from wheelers. I don't know if anyones taken measurements of the stock lines or the ones that come with the Metal Tech LT setup. I'm about to redo my rear brake setup with new ss lines and calipers but I didn't want to undertake replacing the axle lines if I need lines longer than what I have. Here are the measurements for the lines I have in my possession.

Toytec - 15"
Wheelers - 16"

I have read somewhere that the MetalTech lines are 20"? I called up Crown Performance for a quote on some lines just in case, since MetalTech is currently out of stock. It also looks like they produce the ss lines for Toytec and MetalTech, seeing how the Toytec lines have their logo on them and the product number from MetalTech also references Crown Performance. I could also get the BF goodrich lines, which are offered in +2" and +4" but I don't need the rear caliper nor do I need the front caliper lines. Anyone out there able to chime in on this?

I actually ordered my metal tech stainless lines on amazon. Got them in 1 day. Not sure how that makes a difference but maybe that would help. Maybe I got the last set? lol

I'm guessing you don't happen to have the measurements? No worries, they don't even have it listed anymore. Back in January, I remember it was a 2 week pre-order and now it's about a few days for them to get it in stock. The price shipped through MetalTech is the same price as just getting them directly from Crown Performance. I just didn't want to order the MetalTech if they turn out to be the same as the ones I already have. I recall someone mentioning they had issues with the wheelers lines with their LT setup which is similar to mine so I wanted to avoid that if I could.

I dug some where deeper to find a thread where I found the initial post about the lengths.

Installing SS rear brake lines, is there more then 2?

I'll update my thread once I do the install and measure everything out. I'm sure a comprehensive SS line thread will be helpful. Info is all over the place. People looking for center lines, rear caliper lines, etc... I browsed numerous build threads of people working on their brakes to figure all this stuff out the past couple nights at work :lol:
