okay so my brake lines are taking a crap and im also building a long arm kit for it thatll be done in a few days.

I have some factory ones, but if you're looking at extended length check out Iron Rock Offroad. They came with my Long arm Kit, so i don't know exactly how much they were, but they're offering free shipping right now, i believe.

As said just get all three lines for a '95 yj. Any auto parts store should be able to get them... We put them on my buddy's XJ and strightened out the hard line a bit, and got an extra 4.5"....

thats what i plan on doing with the hard mounts is dropping them. i have to get the upper links mounted first and get the thing able to roll tomorrow. its going from a 3 inch budget lift to a 5.5 long arm lift and rear 4 link in november

thanks for the help with the brake lines as buying $100 normal brake lines in a re box is not my style

Ill try that but when I went in they didnt even have the hoses in stock. I went to checkers (O rielys) I was just wondering before I go back in and they try and tell me I have to order them first.
