Product Description

The Russell 696490 is a 5-piece stainless steel braided brake hose kit engineered for 1999-2004 Ford F-250 and F-350 Super Duty 4WD trucks and 1999-2006 Ford Excursion 4WD SUVs running a 4-5.5 inch suspension lift. With both front and rear disc brake coverage, this kit provides extended-length hoses at every flexible connection point to safely accommodate the altered suspension geometry of a lifted truck without straining or pulling the brake line routing. Stock rubber hoses do not have the extra length to manage lifted suspension travel safely - this kit resolves that in a single purchase.

Before ordering, it is essential to verify rear caliper orientation on your specific vehicle: this kit ONLY fits trucks and SUVs where BOTH rear disc brake calipers are mounted behind the rear axle housing. Trucks with one or both calipers facing forward of the axle will not receive correct fitment from this kit. The kit is pre-assembled with zinc-plated OEM-style fittings, meets DOT FMVSS-571.106 requirements, and is legal in all 50 states. Does not fit 2WD, drum-rear, or rear active brake control configurations.
