2004 Toyota 4runner Race Runner Shocks Part 2 - brake Line Routing - Photo 03

Back to Article

Another detail was the brake line routing. With just a single coilover, the stock brake line routing (with an extended brake line to match the Total Chaos suspension system) worked fine. Adding a bypass shock directly in front of the brake line mount begged the brake line to interfere with the shock. Running a new flex line along the upper control arm was an ideal way to re-route the line and avoid potential problems.
