Rear brake lines

Hi guys,
So I was replacing my rear wheel cylinders and brake lines. I ordered up the brake lines from Classic Industries (Part # TRA7103) which are supposed to be for 4WD with standard axles. But they don't fit. They appear to be 1/4" while the originals are 3/16" (I think). Anybody have any ideas on the correct ones?
Thanks.

Re: Rear brake lines

Mike, I just went through the same thing. I purchased lines from The Right Stuff and they were wrong. They sent me lines just like yours and I needed a 3/16 line with 1/4 pipe on the flex hose side and 1/8 pipe on the wheel cly. They made it right and sent me the correct line. I have always dealt with them and now I know I always will.

Re: Rear brake lines

I just got front lines (hoses) from Inline Tube and they are too small for the lines in the truck. Is this a common thing? Did the trucks come with two different size lines?

Re: Rear brake lines

I think the problem is the new wheel cylinders. I replaced the rear brake lines on my truck and had the same problem, but the new lines threaded into the old wheel cylinders but they didn't work with the new cylinders.
