Interested in these. I bought a kit from RPG and SDHQ early last fall. Neither were right for my 2014. Both sets had 2 lines for each side of the rear brakes but the 2014 has a continuous line from the upper flex to the caliper through what looks like a fitting. but it's not. Best guess is it's a mounting barrel that they attach to a clip on the axle.

Is this kit one piece for each side of the rear?

I have the Alpha kit. Not pleased. On the 2013/2014 the rear hard lines that go to the caliper hose DO NOT SEPARATE, but you get 6 lines. So you'd assume an easy install.... No. @rap67 and I both have two lines that are useless now. I bought new rear lines from Ford thinking it was hard lines only, nope. But now I have a template to make my own rear hard lines and then make everything fit like it should. I'll put up a thread once I get it all sorted out and give details on what you'll need, etc.
@rap67 you posted before I did....

Ahh, which now begs the question, will these work with a 14? If not I'm out...they look solid too, hopefully they'll work....

I have the SDHQ kit but mine is an 11. It's a sweet set-up.

They do have this note on their site:

*Some 2013+ Raptors use a different brake line configuration from Ford with the one-piece hard line to fixed hard line on the rear axle. The one-piece hard line does not come apart!

I assume its the same for the Alpha kit. SDHQ has another kit for 2013.5+ models and they say to call if you have fitment questions about your year.

Yeah, no big deal. I'll get the hard lines made up and get it working. It was a very funky design by Ford, but it'll all get resolved here soon.

I have the sdhq lines on my '13. Same deal. Can't use the rear 12" lines from wheels to frame. Brakes performed a lot better after installation though so it's not that big of a deal.

Look at crown performance lines. Have them on my lifted F150 and they were $145 shipped for all!

Crown makes the lines for SDHQ, and others, and if you buy them directly from Crown, they will make them any length you want. Any color you want. All for less than what you would pay else where.
