SUPERPRO, MCA, POLYAIR, RIVAL, FOX Brake Line Kits

Lifting a 4WD or ute changes more than ride height. On some vehicles, the brake lines, handbrake cables and ABS leads only have a limited amount of movement, and a suspension lift can leave them stretched further than they were designed to go. A brake line kit for a lifted vehicle, such as a brake line spacer kit or extension mount kit, relocates the mounting point so these components stay protected after the lift. Fulcrum's range of brake line kits is designed for specific vehicles, which makes brake line extension a simple part of planning your lift.

Why a Suspension Lift Affects Your Brake Lines

Brake lines, handbrake cables and ABS leads run between the body or chassis and the axle and wheels. They are set up to suit the vehicle's original ride height and suspension movement.

When you lift a vehicle, the distance between the body or chassis and the axle increases. Any component that runs between those points has to cover that extra distance. On vehicles where the factory lines and cables have limited movement, the lift can leave them stretched as the suspension moves.

A brake line, handbrake cable or ABS lead that is stretched to the point of damage is a safety concern. That's why a lift involves more than the suspension itself. The components connected to the axle need to be considered too.

What Is a Brake Line Spacer Kit?

A brake line spacer kit raises the bracket where the brake line is mounted. You may also see it called a brake line extension mount kit or a brake hose extension mount. Relocating the mounting point gives the existing components more room to move with the suspension.

Depending on the kit and the vehicle, a brake line spacer kit can help protect:

• Brake lines
• Handbrake cables
• ABS sensor leads

Because the kit relocates the bracket rather than replacing the brake line, it offers a straightforward way to keep these components protected once your vehicle is lifted.

Brake Line Spacer Kits and Extended Brake Lines

Brake line extension after a lift can be approached in different ways:

• Spacer and extension mount kits relocate the bracket so the existing components have more room to move.
• Extended brake lines replace the factory flexible hose with a longer one.

The right approach depends on your vehicle and your suspension setup.

When to Consider a Brake Line Kit

A brake line kit is worth considering when:

• You're planning a suspension lift on your 4WD or ute
• You've already lifted your vehicle and want the brake lines, handbrake cables and ABS leads checked
• You're unsure whether your vehicle's factory lines and cables have enough movement after a lift

Planning your brake line kit alongside your lift kit means the components can be fitted together, rather than coming back to the job later.

Choosing the Right Brake Line Kit

Brake line kits are designed to suit particular vehicles, so choosing the right one starts with your make and model. Before you buy, check:

• Vehicle fitment: use the vehicle search to find brake line kits that suit your make, model and year.
• Fitting position: check the product listing to confirm where on the vehicle the kit is designed to be fitted.
• What the kit protects: check the product description to see whether it addresses brake lines, handbrake cables, ABS leads or a combination.
• Your suspension setup: confirm the kit suits your vehicle's lift and suspension configuration.

Full fitment details, specifications and inclusions are listed on each product page. If you can't find a kit for your vehicle, or you're unsure which one you need, Fulcrum's suspension specialists can help.

Professional Fitment for Peace of Mind

Brake lines are part of your vehicle's braking system, so fitment needs to be done correctly. If you're not confident working on brakes or suspension, have your brake line kit fitted by a qualified technician.
