rear brake hose fitting size?
i need to know what the thread is on the rear flex hose fitting to the hard line. i need an extension for the rear line, and i dont wanna guess.
is it possible to use another line to extend the one that is there without replacing it?
its a 2008, 3.0l, 4x2, w/ 8.8 rear axle w/ 10" drums

i went with an 'Allstar' line and 'Russel' fittings. the line is a #3 hose, and my fittings are 3/8-24 to adapt a length between the ranger rubber flex line and the hard line under the bed. i should get an effortless amount of travel with the length i went with..

ill need to take a closer look at that, i tried to check the fitting sizes from under the hood at the junction box, i can barely measure the threads exposed from the box but what i saw was the left and right were two different threads and sizes compared to the rear line. but i could most likely be wrong, maybe some how i followed the wrong lines..? ill check again tomorrow

They should be just reg 3/16 again as mentioned above. They always use different fittings at the master and ABS unit but I'm not sure why. Maybe to keep the average person from messing around with it if they don't have to proper fittings? But you should be good to go with something similar to what you did on the back.
