Default anyone runnin a line lock?

i picked up a biondo line lock but havent gotten a chance to get the truck up on the lift. wonderin what anyone has done as far as puttin one of these on. im lookin to put it in backwards and lock out the rear to still have brake control for the fronts. did you cut, flare, existing line and put in place. put it at a section where there is a joint? i did a search and came up with threads that wont show pictures. any advice appreciated

Because if you lock out the back brakes you can put your foot on the brake to lock only the fronts without engaging the rear. Allowing you to control the brake pressure on the front.
Way better then just locking all the pressure onto the front and not having control of them.

Search for LINE. There is a couple threads on how to set it up.

I've only seen it done on the front (for normal strip vehicles) but have seen it used on all 4 in extreme cars...
