Flex lines for front and rear...ok after that im lost!...

for the front i have 3" raised combo spindles and 4" x 2" arms with a 6" wide beam going up and down with 10" stroke fox coil-overs, with heim end tie rods to an econo HD rack...

for the rear i was going to hard line from the brake to about 2/3 the arm to the pivot point and then rn a flex line to the other side of the pivot...

any ideas guys for the length on the front...i know on the rear i can make or get which ever line i want as in the length... but the front is where im stumped...im lost at how to measure for line.

We run the flex line fron the front caliper up the tie rod sleeves to the center of the rack and then to your hard line. If I recall the last set was some where around 40" long for the front.

I assume that is a simular set up compared to what i have>?...what would be a way to measure to make sure i run enough line...turn the wheel stop to stop and jack the car up and the arm up? and measure all the stops and figure out the longest ones and go with it ?...

thanks
