I just swapped out the frame to axle brake lines last night and wanted to post my findings since I never found any information about the OEM option prior to doing this.

I called up CDan last month and had him send me his "kit" to extend the brake lines. These lines are OEM for other Toyota models. Here is what you need:

Part 90947-A2016 for the Right (Passenger) Front
- I gained 2 1/8'' from stock.

Part 96940-34605 for the Left (Driver) Front
- I gained 4 3/8" from stock

Part 96940-34705 for the rear
- I gained 5" from stock

I just wanted to document an OEM option for anyone that wants to extend the brake lines.

Please don't turn this into a debate of OEM vs. stainless steel. The cost of these from CDan and the cost of the SS from Slee are actually with a couple of dollars of one another.

I will say that my 12 year old stock lines were in great shape and I didn't need to change them. I just wanted the extra length :rolleyes:. I now have 3 very good trail spares in my cargo drawer.

Some of the higher lifts may benefit from the 5" extension in the rear over the 4" availible elsewhere.

I mean, I assume so. These are OEM brake lines pieced together from various models. I didn't see him say FZJ verse FJ80
 
Didn't know there were OEM options pretty cool I wonder if there's an OEM option for FJ80's. Dan?

The FJ80 would use the same rear hose and and the same hose as the LH front for a vehicle with ABS.

Two of them are from T100s and one is from a 07 Tundra.

Awesome sort of now I will spend even more money :whoops:
 
Current published list prices (6-09):

96940-34605, $43.87
96940-34705, $48.87
 
I've been meaning to post this as I just replaced the other type with these.

I really like that they lock into the mounts at the frame and you can index them to help avoid rubbing issues with other components.

Not sure who identified these but thanks for the effort.
 
I'm curious. Why the discrepancy in the different front lengths?

Even if the driver's side gets +4" of extension, isn't half of that a moot point if the passenger side is only getting a +2" extension?

These by chance aren't like the extended stainless steel version that Slee offers?
Doubtful, but I thought I'd ask.

Unless my math is wrong, Slee's +4" Frame to Axle kit is less than this @ $99? Other than the obvious factor of being OEM, what other benefits are there to going that route rather than Slee's (for example)?

Thanks. Again.. just curious.
 
Some prefer original rubber type over SS type hoses, this provides that option. Custom hoses can be made to any length, with stock hoses you have to pick from what's available, in this case one is slightly longer, not going to make a significant performance difference.
 
thanks for the part #s i will be getting by hands on some since the plastic coating on my slee SS lines is cracking and falling apart:frown: and like the fact that you can index the lines
 
We have posted a picture in the past (also on our site) to show that the outer skid is really only a cosmetic cover. It does not mean the line is compromised if it cracks. That said, we have recently made some changes to the angles of some of the fittings as well as the location of the labels and how the outer skin is put on the line to try to eliminate the cracking. Just as a FYI so people don't think it is a safety issue.

Assuming that you are only as strong (or as long) as your weakest length, I agree with your assesment of the front extension. What I don't kow is how much you actually need to extend the lines. I know that for my 3" lift, I never had any issues while wheeling the stock lines for two years. I don't plan on more than 3.5" or 4" of lift ever. Therefore, I am assuming that even 2 1'8 extension is good for me. I have not looked at the new (or stock) line at full extension. I have a pile of wood chips in my driveway that I may try to flex the truck out on and see how much extra I have. I did this more for peace of mind and am not sure that I need all 4" found in other options.

I have nothing against the Slee lines. I was ordering other parts from Dan and decided to throw the lines in the order for convinience. Dan's prices above are the listed prices. With the mud discount the kit was actually a couple of dollars less than Slee's. All that is to say is that there are two very good options for about the same price. If you NEED 4" of extension, then you should go with Slee. If you NEED 5" extension in the rear, OEM can get you that. If you like rubber over stainless, go OEM. If you like stainless over rubber, go Slee. Etc. Etc.

It is good to have options and I just wanted to document the OEM option since not everyone NEEDS an extra 4''...unless your wife/girlfriend says so:doh:.

I have never installed aftermarket lines, but these stock ones were very easy and feel very secure. As Rick mentioned, they do lock perfectly into the mounts at the frame.
