Brake Line details - Replacing hard brake lines on rear 8.25 axle
I've lifted my 2000 Sport a little bit and planned to replace the soft rubber line going to the axle tube with a longer one. I tried to get the hard lines off but their super boogered up.
I plan to get brake lines pre-assembled at my local parts store, where I have a pretty good discount. Thinking of getting these and just bending them into shape. It should all cost less than 20 bucks.

What lengths and thread sizes do I need to get to make sure it all fits? and the line is 3/16", correct?

You won't go wrong with that copper nickel stuff. It's really easy to work with, too.
