When looking for a replacement brake line kit, you will want to measure from the port on the back of the actuator to the T-Fitting where the lines split off and go to the separate brakes, which is typically right at the axle. There will be a short flexible line included to go from the back of the actuator to the steel line, which is included with the Titan Hydraulic Brake Lines and Fittings for Single-Axle, Torsion-Axle # T4829900, but I prefer to measure this way as the excess steel line can then be coiled up and out of the way. I like to have a little extra rather than not enough.
