1998 Cherokee all the brake lines are shot and im putting in my 4.5' lift so i might as well get two birds stoned at once, so what size of brake line do i need

 

no one knows?

 

.... the correct size..... i'd just run factory, no sense in running over sized brake lines for a system that works fine to begin with

 

yeah whats the correct size? cutting a peice off is out of the question because i need the jeep to go get the brake line

 

any parts store should have it, just tell them you need the factory size/ or standard... i cant remember the size exactly but i think its 3/16ths.....

 

went there already the guy was like uhhhhhhhhh i dunno. but il go for 3/16

 

lmao hahaah yea i've come across a few of those guys... they can look the parts up but when it comes to actually knowing what your looking for besides a part number to ring up on the register.. completely lost

 

I replaced my hard lines on the rear axle, they were 3/16". You can buy brake line in a coil and make your new hard lines but you will need a double flare tool.

 

3/16 for sure. im doing the exact same thing at the moment. i may be jacking the thread, but anyone know if the rear flex line is a standard or metric style of flare? Im wondering because i went a picked up a 99 Dakota rear flex line because its longer, and its all metric flare style.

 

3/16 is the correct size. Grab a flaring tool since your gonna need it.

 

already got all that stuff seeing as im a apprentice at the local chrysler dealer but i totaly forgot to ask about the brake lines until I remembered this morning.

 

just an update to this thread for other people, so i just fiixed my issue replaced the complete hard line, you'll need a 3/16 x 72 standard and a 3/16 x 32 standard and a 3/16 coupling and a 3/16 to 1/2 fitting, totals up to about $18.00 thats everything you'll need....
