    This was my initial setup.

    If I do it again, I'll bend them back to the firewall as close to the bottom of the proportioning valve as possible, then down the firewall, and over to the T-fittings.

    The front line runs down to a brass elbow directly under the proportioning valve on the frame rail. From there, up a foot or so to a T-fitting, one side goes to the left front wheel, the other across the back of the front crossmember to the right front.

    The rear line connects to an elbow at the frame rail like the front line does, then across the back of the front crossmember to the right frame rail. Another elbow connector and then back along the right frame rail to where the existing rear brake line is, ( about even with the face of the firewall.)
    There I needed a line adapter, ( the only thing not included in the kit), to go from the kits' larger brake line to the existing rear brake line. A 75 cent item.

    I did get the hose clips that go on the upper control arms, as part of the kit. If you have questions, or need advice on any aspect of the kit's installation, Call EC on their toll free number. They are more than happy to answer questions. They really do care and want you to be happy with their products.
