I used the stock 79 lines that were on the housing then just changed the line that T'ed in the center to a hard line that runes up the radius arm and a rubber line that goes from end of the radius arm to the valve on the frame rail. pretty simple and it will never need any more attention unless I snag it on something. cost me $6 I think.

i didnt grab the brake lines with the axle and the B2 lines are way to short....should i just extend the stock B2 lines, im not understanding the whole "T" valve and what not...im a visual person, sorry cant help it

I was wondering the same thing for mine. What connections are you using to the radius arms? Also what rubber line you using? Part #s would help some im sure.

here is what it looks like:

Plug one port on the proportioning valve.

From the other port, run a short rubber line to the radius arm.

At the radius arm connect a steel line to the rubber line(I used a T, and plugged the unused port.)

Run the steel line down the radius arm to the diff

Use a T to split the lines off to each wheel.

You'll of course need to use a rubber line to connect to each caliper.

The whole idea behind running the line down the radius arm, is so you can have lots of flex without worrying about really long (expensive$$) brake lines.

I don't have any part numbers. I'm not sure I wouldn't recommend the same parts anyway. I had to make due with what I could get at the time.
