Lift questions:
The RE instructions don't say anything about bleeding my front brake line, as I'm only removing it, straightening it out, then reattaching it. Should I still bleed it, and if so when?

For the rear brake line, should I still bleed it if I am going to have my old tires and wheels on for a little bit?

And the most important question, how do I bleed my brakes, how long does it take, and what equipment will I need. Thanks.

EDIT: And, can I do this sometime after I lift the Jeep... will I be able to drive it around before I bleed the brakes?

Are you removing the brake line? or just the bracket? If your just remounting the bracket, then no, but if you disconnect any brake lines, then yes.

Installing a new rear one, so yes.

For the front, it says: "Remove brake hose mounting screw from inner fender well and straighten z shaped bend to lower brake hose. Re-attach brake hose to inner fender well."

Ya, you'll have to bleed the brakes to do the rear. But idk how as I've never done it. I found the RE rear brake line to be the same length as stock so I didn't bother with it.

Your speedo will only be off by 1-2mph. Mine is only off by 2-3 MAX at highway speeds and I have 31's. I've tested it with my GPS and had a friend drive next to me and we both put cruise control on. It's so little of a difference(width of the needle on the gauge) that I haven't bothered to change anything. But regearing would definitely screw your speedo though.
