Re: Front brake hoses too short for 2.5" drop spindles?
Couple pics of the hose.
It's "rubbing" the bottom of the upper ball joint bolt. While it's not actually "tight", for the DS on a right turn, it's getting taught, then you add in the suspension movement and you could eventually end up with a cut or broken hose.
It's also too taught to put the brake shoes back on over the rotor. It would suck to have to remove the hose and lose all the fluid every time you do a brake job.
I got my new hoses for a 3/4 ton. They appear to be the same and should work. The line fitting size is different (it's actually smaller!) but that should be an easy fix with a new adapter fitting.
I didn't measure, but the new hoses should be 2.5-3" longer.
