Default Source on +6" Goodridge brake lines?

My +2" lines are looking rather tight. I found these 4" ones: Goodridge Steel Braided Brake Lines (hoses), 4? extended ? 4-49004 ? Range Rover Classic (US spec)

But am unable to find 6".

Found these: Discovery II Brake Lines

but they're rather pricey, and I'd prefer Goodridge.

I read on another forum that a 99 Toyota Tacoma front brake line is longer vs our D2’s and will work on our D2’s so “if” you can find aftermarket braided SS lines for a 99 Toyota Tacoma then they should be longer vs what you can get for a D2.

The fronts look compatible:

but not the rears:

edit: I'm dumb, use the fronts for the rears...

Just get a local hydraulic line shop to make some. They'll be cheaper than finding any online and you'll probably get them quicker.

What is the hose ID, thread size, pitch, and connection type at each end?

How much lift do you have? I would be shocked to see you need 6", D2s don't really flex enough to need them

The front's are fine (with the lower spring seat retainer left unclipped), but I only have about 2" slack in the rears. Hub to arch is 22 3/4", so that's around 3.5"?

And I'd like to do a panhard conversion at some point, so longer lines seem to be a must.

My current lines are 18" in the rear.

I also really need ABS extensions in the rear. The plug popped out on a recent trip (and that was before I put in spacers).

Not sure exactly. Just take them an old front and rear and tell them you want them however much longer.

FYI, I had 6" lines made for my D2 when I had around 3.5" of lift and a panhard conversion. They were WAY too long and had a ton of slack. One of them got pinched eventually. Best to go +4"
