Yes - the lines are supplied in standard form at 4' lengths, with the hose ends assembled onto the hoses where they connect to the brake assist unit, left overlength and unassembled on the other ends (to accomodate as many popular combos as possible). We learned many years ago that routing the lines throughout the engine compartment is subject to individual tastes, where one small change in routing could yield a big change in installed hose lengths. At first some complained about having to assemble their Aeroquip TFE series hoses (on the ends that connect to the PS pump and steering gear), though we felt the benefits of allowing the end user to tailor their line lengths well outweighed the hassle of AN hose assembly. We have thousands of customers that have run our systems with the rack conversions, all finding ample hose to work with (with the 4' supplied hose lengths). The only issues with the rack is to make sure that whomever supplied you with the rack also was kind enough to supply you with the AN adapters to go with that specific rack.
