Extending brake lines (flex hose)

Is there a stock brake line that's longer than in the '84, that'll just fit right on there? As in a different year that had longer ones, so I don't have to get some made.

im pretty sure you can buy another stock line and put it in series with the existing one, i know you can for an 86+

Why not buy some extended brakelines? www.allprooffroad.com sells them so does www.marlincrawler.com Is $85 gonna break the bank for breaklines?

I heard of some people using two brakes hoses connected together which is a cheap way to do it too. Which I have done in the past.
If that's what you are looking for I would visit the junkyard.

yea, if the junk yard wants more than $10 for a brake line tell them they are smoking crack, the extended lines are much nicer though if you can spend the cash. The one i got with my 3inch downey lift still works with my 6+ inch lift.
