Goodridge Stainless Steel Extended Brake Line Kit
1998–2003 Dodge Durango
2-15013
Overview:
The Goodridge Stainless Steel Extended Brake Line Kit is engineered to enhance braking performance and reliability for Dodge Durango models from 1998 to 2003. Designed for enthusiasts and daily drivers alike, this kit replaces the factory rubber brake lines with premium stainless steel braided hoses that deliver a firmer, more consistent pedal feel. Ideal for vehicles equipped with lift kits or those seeking improved brake response, this kit ensures safer and more efficient braking under demanding conditions.
By eliminating the spongy pedal sensation common with aging or stock rubber lines, the Goodridge kit provides greater control and confidence during heavy braking or spirited driving. Its extended length accommodates lifted suspensions, making it a perfect upgrade for off-road or modified Durangos.
Key Features:
This brake line kit combines advanced materials and thoughtful design to deliver superior performance and durability:
- High-quality PTFE inner hose for excellent fluid compatibility and pressure resistance
- Durable stainless steel outer braid that resists abrasion, corrosion, and heat
- Extended length lines designed specifically for lifted Dodge Durango models
- Includes all necessary adapters, banjo bolts, washers, and line locators for a complete installation
- Reduces pedal chatter and improves brake feel, especially when used with ABS systems
- Meets or exceeds all Department of Transportation (D.O.T.) safety standards
- Undergoes a rigorous 9-point quality assurance testing process to ensure reliability
- Improves braking efficiency and can reduce stopping distances
- Provides a clean, professional appearance that enhances the undercarriage look
Construction & Design:
The Goodridge brake line kit features a PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) inner hose, known for its chemical inertness and ability to withstand high hydraulic pressures without expanding. This ensures consistent brake fluid delivery and pedal feel. Surrounding the PTFE core is a tightly woven stainless steel braid that protects the hose from physical damage, abrasion, and corrosion caused by road debris and environmental exposure.
The extended length lines are precision-engineered to fit lifted Dodge Durango models, preventing overstretching or kinking during suspension articulation. Each component, including banjo bolts and adapters, is manufactured to exacting standards to guarantee a secure, leak-free connection.
Performance & Sound
Upgrading to stainless steel braided brake lines significantly enhances braking performance by eliminating the expansion and flexing typical of rubber hoses under pressure. This results in a firmer, more responsive brake pedal with reduced travel and improved modulation. Drivers will notice a more direct connection to the braking system, which can increase confidence and control, especially during aggressive driving or towing.
Additionally, the kit reduces pedal chatter often experienced with ABS-equipped vehicles, contributing to smoother and more predictable braking behavior.
Installation & Fitment:
The Goodridge Stainless Steel Extended Brake Line Kit is designed for a straightforward bolt-on installation on 1998–2003 Dodge Durango models, including R/T, SLT, SLT Plus, and Sport trims. The kit includes all necessary hardware and line locators to ensure proper routing and secure attachment.
While professional installation is recommended to ensure safety and optimal performance, experienced enthusiasts with basic mechanical skills can complete the upgrade using standard brake system tools. The extended lines accommodate lifted suspensions without modification, making this kit ideal for lifted or modified Durangos.
What's Included:
- 2 Front stainless steel braided brake lines
- 1 Rear mid stainless steel braided brake line
- 2 Extended rear brake lines (8.25 inches longer)
- Adapters and banjo bolts with washers
- Line locators for secure and proper routing
Ideal For:
This brake line kit is perfect for Dodge Durango owners seeking to improve braking performance, pedal feel, and safety. It is especially beneficial for those who have installed lift kits or upgraded their suspension, as the extended lines prevent overstretching and potential brake line failure. Enthusiasts who demand consistent brake response under heavy use, including towing, off-roading, or spirited driving, will appreciate the enhanced control and reliability provided by this upgrade.
