I'm aiming for 2.5 (max 3") lift in the rear and wondered what length i should get? I'm ordering a bunch of stuff from JO

Is 18" enough? How about the front? I got away with the stock lines on my tj by lowering them 3", which was very easy to do (lower bracket and hardline). Can i do the same for the front of my xj? I don't want to spend another $100 on lines if i don't really have to.

Thanks

as for the front, you will be ok until about 4" with just relocating the stock lines.

yj brake hoses are 3-4" longer and bolt right in.

readily available for $15 each at any auto parts store as well

yea but if you buy stock they arent steel braided like the rubi ex ones. just a thought...

vehicles have been the same brake hoses with the outer rubber casing for about 70 years.

im willing to pay a fraction of the cost for a little less bling

chevy k-1500 lines give even more length and will bolt into xj's as well, for under 20 bucks each. i have seen them used with longarm setups drooped and at full lock and they still have plenty of slack in them.

Aren't the steel lines supposed to give a firmer pedal feel? I ripped off my TJ's rear rubber line years ago and boy was that a pita to fix on the trail (MUDDY TRAIL). I'll prob save a few and go with stock rubber.

Kyle

yes it does make the peddle feel stiffer. personally i wouldnt go any other way with my brakelines, but just i case i have a YJ rubber set as a spare in my jeeps box.

could have just been stiffer from getting a fresh bleed in there. but rubber lines have the same beefyness as braided steel steel do, but a rubber casing as opposed to a bling casing

RUBBA FO LYFE

ive ran both, never noticed a difference in anything with steel braided. in fact i run rubbers now out of a 1500 chevy that are super long and theyre fine.

just sold my steel braided used for more than what i paid for my rubber lines new

Any particular 1500 model? Front or rear?

thanks

Hey guys, i talked with my buddy about brake lines on his xj and he wants to go the YJ route. What year YJ model should he get for longer rear brake lines? Does it matter?

thanks
