i am trying to replace brake lines but the apparently correct NAPA part for my truck seems too short (assuming because of the lift).

there are two parts that have the correct fittings, but one is for 4-wheel ABS (UP 380295), and one is for rear wheel ABS (UP 380541).

i bought the rear wheel abs part because it says "RWAL" on my sticker.
but when comparing it to the current brake line i am replacing, it is shorter
and bends pretty severely when the steering is turned all the way over.

i guess i am wondering if there is any real problem with putting the longer 4-wheel abs part on my truck even though it is RWAL?

(btw, this all on the driver's side. i haven't checked the pass side yet)

update:

ok, just checked the pass side and can't see a difference in length there.

looked again at driv side and the difference in length is fairly small, less than an inch. could it be that the old line has just stretched a little over time?

also, i do have repositioning brackets to compensate for the lift, so that shouldn't be too much of a factor i don't think...

still just seems like a pretty sharp bend in the new line when the wheel is cranked hard over.
