Question:

The 16 ft brake line is too short for my tandem axle Easyloader boat trailer. I am putting disc brakes on the reat axle. I am not putting brakes on front axle. The line from the actuator to the T-fitting needs to be 18 feet long. Can you do this if i place my order for the disk brake kit, actuator and brakeline kit?

Expert Reply:

You could use Titan brake line kit # T4829900 instead. It comes with a 19 foot long steel line. Normally if brakes are only going onto one axle of a tandem axle trailer they go on the front axle, not the back axle. That is likely why so many kits only have a 16 foot line. You get better braking when the brakes are on the forward axle.
