I never needed this bracket. I bought it but never had use for it, all the OEM extended brake lines worked just fine.

I had an issue with the factory extended lines on a 94 because that bracket had a different shaped cut out. The part lookup shows a part number change 01/95 for that bracket. If you used factory lines on a 93/94 without issue the front axle might have been swapped out. This part doesn't affect aftermarket lines.

I'm 99% certain my axle is original to my 1994MY. Maybe I should have had issues but avoided them by gorilla-ing my setup to work. I can't remember but I feel like I swapped out those lines without too much effort and believe me, I can over-complicate the simplest of tasks. i.e. installing my trunnion race upside down and having to notch my new races to drive them out. BTDT.
@lacresta have you figured out all you need? Maybe I wasn't tracking your exact issue. I perceived you didn't trust the information you came across on the threads you referenced, which is understandable. Sorry, I came off like a bag of dicks.
I am running the Slee SS lines from the frame to axle lines and had issues getting the hard lines to catch when threading them into the Slee SS lines same issue with the axle end too.
I just replaced the axle to caliper lines with OEM Toyota lines and had no issues at all. Everything went together well.
As mentioned above I had issues with my Slee lines, but recently replaced my axle to caliper lines with OEM Toyota lines and went in with no issues.

Just got back from Baja and could not wait to see how many others bagged on my concern.. Sqeegee was right I was overthinking it.. This is not one of my race cars and with a stock motor is so underpowered not sure it really even needs brakes.
Offroadscott might be the only member that installed these himself..
The hard lines need to be tweaked to reach some of the after market brake line fittings. Thats all that someone needed to say, none of the threads said it that I read. Sqeegee did say it, thanks. So I went caveman bent and massaged the hard lines to reach, not a big deal. Just not the way I like to do it..
All the other hoses are factory and fit like a glove.
One thing learned, this is not the place to ask questions unless your ready to hear all the experts say your asking a dumb question. Does not bother me I have been working on things long enough to know the dumb questios are the ones not asked.. Most of the members responded trying to help and that was cool thanks.. As for the few expert know it all mechanics with nothing positive to add, you should just not have replied. Just my opinon..
A good thing that came out of this was finding a new vender LANDTANK. going to be ordering some stout parts from him..

Dude. Let it go, build a bridge, stop living in the past. Your redundant brake line thread was from ages ago. You either failed to comprehend basic instructions from the threads you state you already referenced, didn't trust the information you researched or were too lazy to research them to a logical conclusion. My hope is you grow some thicker skin.

Well. THAT was productive and helps build the bridge... Doesn't it.

if anyone is looking for a longer line that is f m10x1.0 on both sides, got this from Dorman.
pretty much every lift you buy comes with a longer extended length shock
Most lifts that I’ve seen don’t add droop (aka longer shock stroke). You’re driving around within the same OEM shock stroke limitations except with reduced down travel.
What have you been looking at?
It’s been a while since I referenced it, but here is the suspension sticky. It has a record of most shock compressed and extended lengths. As I recall, most lift shocks have a longer extended length than stock.
Compiled 80 series suspension component spec thread... shocks, coils & more.
80 series coil & shock specs A few years back 80 series suspension was fairly easy to figure out & purchase since there was only a few of options to chose from. Recently there has been a few suppliers stepping up to play in the USA 80 series market offering more options. Now with a plethora of...

Ya I get it for 6" lifts and stuff a 10" shock isn't gonna give you much down travel so you need longer shocks and extended bumps etc.
I mostly look at shock stroke given that the OEM shocks have roughly 10." Most lifts are 0-3" range and thus the difference in most cases is maybe an inch?
I have a tendency to pay attention to the extended length a little more. The extended length can change a lot depending on the application, universal stuff seems to be a bit longer than one fit shocks. My coilovers are 12” travel shocks and are 32” long, my rear shocks are 11.74” travel shock but are 28.74” long.
I’d say, if you’re going to lift it, you might as well get extended lines. The brake lines probably need to be replaced anyway and god know what’s set up you’re going to have in the future.

Agreed, that was kind of my point as well is people should really focus on extended length. A lot of folks will unknowingly think that because they have a lift they therefore also need extended break lines or whatever that may not actually be required.

Agreed
Only peasants DIY a lift.
As such, a qualified, brand-carrying shop will afford the proper shock to a lift job.
That said, I ran OEM vintage rubber lines on a 3" lift and 31" tires for a while w/o issue...and then there were issues. lol

Waking up a bit of a dead thread here... but @lacresta did you ever find a solution?
I'm installing extended brake lines on my '94, with a slinky kit I actually bought from @FMC80 and the passenger side front line has the double female ends, but the coupling piece is too short to fit through the bracket properly...
New ones on right... not only too short but mounting collar is shaped differently than bracket opening...
I read through this entire thread, and others, without finding a definitive solution...
@landtank referenced a bracket replacement
PN 47356-6011
But I assume that only for the frame side. Is there one for the axle as well?
Has anyone actually solved this issue, which seems to be unique to the 93-94 model years?
I'm leaning towards modifying the current bracket to get the female ends to mount up... but would LOVE to hear if any 93-94 owners have found a definitive solution here.

The bracket is for the axle not the frame.

Copy, and is there one for the frame side as well? Or did you just modify the bracket?
