Default What is a good replacement for a rear brake flexline

I need the flexline that includes the distribution block on the rear axle for a C8.25 I am installing. My old one is rusted to ****e. I'd like to replace it as I replaced everything else on the axle.

I read you can use one from a '99 Dakota? Is that correct?

Thanks!

I was hoping (praying) there was an answer to this one other than the JY. Anyone have any thoughts?

Thanks

I used a 95 Dakota brake line for mine.

Nothing fancy about the rear flex line, it's all standard sized fittings.

Real simple answer
Go to your preferred parts house and ask for a rear brake line for a 95 dodge Dakota. Ask for a rear brake distribution block for your model Cherokee. Now you have a long enough line and new block

I have a 8.25 and used a 95 yj rear line and as far as I can tell it works great no complaints from here. I walked into oreillys and asked for the line that easy.

95 yj rear brake line. Same setup, easy install. Just changed mine. Plenty for a 3-4in lift.
