Front or rear? I haven't got to the front yet but I plug one of the ports on the balance valve.Then run a hard line (3/16 brake tube) from the other port to the bottom of the engine cross member. From there Braided stainless hose to a "T" fitting On the axle.from there pretty much copy what the factory did only SS hose instead of rubber.

I haven't got quite that far but. I have a balance valve from a 90' W250
and the port that goes to the right hand (passenger side) is the one that is used.

The one that is plugged goes to the left port (Top on a 1990 truck)
View from as it would sit on the truck. Inside frame rail. Pictures =1000 words

Lets see if I can really confuse you. The way I do it is click REPLY then ADVANCED. in the window under the text window there will be a MANAGE ATTACHMENTS button click on that.
A window will open that has 5 buttons that say BROWSE. when you click on those buttons the window that opens will be where you want to load the file form your computer(I use MY pictures) when you are done click the LOAD button. it sometimes takes a couple of minutes to load. once loaded close the window.Now you are back at the text window.

Clear as mud? I typed the button names in capitol s to hopefully make my ramblings understandable
