Hey guys I'm looking to install these lines on the front and rear, is there any things I should know about? Seems like a straight forward job.. one thing I did notice was the pass side rear line where it screws into the hard line it seems like there's a lot extra thread showing then on the driver side. Almost looks like they cross threaded the factory line and left it. It's out about 3/4" where the driverside is almost flush.

I'm pretty sure the threads are different side to side. At least on the fronts. The rears on mine didn't have any brackets for holding them to the control arm. I cut the brackets off the stock lines and made them work with the braided.

The only thing I'll say is make sure you use new Ford copper crush washers, they're thicker than the aftermarket replacements. I learned this the hard way when I did mine last winter

I actually sent them back, and I'm getting the j&m lines. They are a exact oem bolt up.
