14 bolt disk brake conversion issue

[Blake G]

Iv googled and searched on here and can't really find what I'm looking for. I bought a 14 bolt ruff stuff disk brake brackets that use the the front calipers off a 80 model Chevy. My question is what is everyone using for the brake lines? I tried buying the same brake lines off that same year truck and they don't fit properly. They stick out quite a bit.

The Gubni/ Lugnut 4x4 kits come with the soft/ flex line that bolted right to caliper.

I've also used an AN fitting and ran all braided lines strait to the caliper on mine.

It's been a long time, but I'm pretty sure I used front brake lines from a mid '80s Chevette on my old YJ.

I used front 2wd truck (mid 70s c10) brake lines once iirc

Same as what I used. If a part number is needed let me know I may be able to dig it up

I used the flex lines from a '91W250 Dodge (part# H38421).

I'm not sure what Gubni's kits cost but I pieced my kit together for $220. The parts list is simple.
