Well, I don't really care to be honest... lol I think I am going to just order some RE springs. F+R as I ideally want to do it all at once But would be willing to sell my RE front coils for 40$ in about a week (when the new ones get here)

IMO, just buy brake lines for a XJ. I think its tripping over dollars to save a penny. Or if you can put if off for a few weeks I'll sell you mine. both front and rear stainless steel, 30$
(need longer ones)

Tell you the truth im not sure if he stocks it or not but its worth a shot the last group order he did on rme he did order some bigger stuff so it could be worth a shot,
But I know you can buy precut and tapped material from teraflex for$$$ and shorter length material from lowrange

The only difference jeff is diameter and thickness if someone is refering to link material they are usually talking about 1 1/2 to 2" .025 wall dom

ha ha sorry ben hanks got me calling it that, cause if you say link material to tap to most shops they know exactly what your looking for.

and yes he can unless his tap is crap now, but he's done it in the past. i think mine are 1.75 or 2" .281 wall but i can check tomorrow to be sure.

Hey Derek, allow me to tap a little more of your knowledge (or anyone else who cares to chime in). Hiems vs Johnny joints, opinions?
