Will vitara brake lines fit a sierra? Both are short wheel base.

I tried a search but no luck.

thanks guys

Yes. Fittings are the same. However, vitara front brake lines are excessively long and have a ferrule thing 1/2 way along them that attaches to the strut. This is both useless for a sierra and in an inconvenient spot. I have seen these pinched by the steering knuckle in a sierra, clamping the brake on.

I have suzuki Alto lines in the front of mine - the length is spot on for my front end's articulation.

Lower the chassis end mount. I've never seen a leaf sprung sierra that needed a longer than stock rear brake line, including cars with longer leaves AND 3/4 elliptic with 14" travel shocks.
