Re: Front brake hoses too short for 2.5" drop spindles?

Apparently GM put the hose mount on the back of the cross member for 67-70 trucks and on the front for 71/72. So, if you buy a conversion kit (or conversion drop kit) for your 67-70 you don't have any problems because there is plenty of hose length, but for 71/72 trucks (and 71/72 cross member conversions) you have the hose in the front and it becomes too short when you drop the truck.
