Default Brake Lines

The lift on my XJ is starting to get into the 4" range and I have been thinking about extending my brake lines. The YJ lines look about $20 each and only get me 2" over stock. I was thinking about using these from quadratec, has anyone had any experience with em??

I dont care about colors, and I am always looking to save a buck, but definatly dont want to cheep out on brakes

For some reason the computer here at work keeps messing up the link. I am talking about the crown 5 layer custom extended brake lines.

I will post the link later when I get home

The YJ will give me an additional 2" of line length. The problem is my brake lines dont look all that good. The rubber is looking like it is a little dry. I might just be a little paranoid, but they are cheap enough to change.

I will check out Rusty's and see what theyve got
