Exact same in all manners as the half ton hoses, except an inch longer. That extra inch gives enough slack to take the hoses out of a bind. Since then every 71-72 front end I've used under a truck, I buy the 1 ton hoses. Problem solved.

Thanks Brother! I like the way the stock hose has the notch at the caliper and the keyway at the frame so 3/4 ton it is!! I have CPP 2" drop spindles and 3" springs hope that 1/2" difference still gets me the needed length I need?/ Thanks
