    I've been working on my rear disc brake conversion.. and I have not bought new brake hoses for the calipers yet. The stock chevy truck hoses for my chevy truck calipers are pretty long. They would work, but wouldn't you want shorter ones ? So everything will be a more fine fit. Has anyone found a good brake hose to use ? I thought of the ZJ rear brake hoses that are used on their rear disc setup.. but I dont know if they would bolt up ? Or can I find some flex metal lines somewhere ?

    I had braided hoses made at a brake shop.

    You could also take your hose to FLAPS and match up a shorter hose. There are different sized fittings on the caliper end and you need to have the correct fitting size. There are also different shapes on the fitting end that fit certain calipers so that is a consideration also.
