Who out there has solved this problem. Installers just bend down and twist steel lines to make longer. This looks like it is a sure fire way to lose braking. Can't find a shop in Missouri to custom make longer steel braded lines.

You could make your own or just find a place that sells them using the internet.

It's a SUPER common thing for guys with jeeps to need custom sized brake lines. If the line sizes match what you need you can just buy something that will fit.

Look at these guys, they make kits. The Avalanche is basically a tahoe/suburban under everything. Something is likely to fit.

Chevrolet/GMC Brake Lines

FFDP excellent suggestion Crown lines worked great went with 6" over stock and were long enough to clamp lines securely to A arms.
