brake lines help

ok so im to running brake lines but ive ran into a snag. i need a longer brake line that goes from frame to caliper. would it be possible to use hydraulic hose lines instead of trying to find longer rubber brake lines?
Thanks for the help in advance

Re: brake lines help

We use the beaded lines on lifted trucks. I like the pedal feel way better than rubber spongy lines.

Re: brake lines help

The larger the hose or line the softer or mushy the pedal will feel = crappy brakes = unsafe.
Making SS hose is easy. Just buy extra furrels that's the only part that isn't reusable. If you screw up and they leak at the hose connecting to the fitting.
