Ladies and Gents

My lift is now over 3" and my stock brake lines dont look so hot, so it is time for a change. I ordered a set of crown extended steel braided brake lines from morris.

Do I have to do anything special since I have ABS on my 98XJ, or do I just swap and bleed them??

Chuck

 

nothing special other then replace the rear axle with something stronger

but as far as the brakes go no issues swapping to longer lines

 

abs is no good on a trail so you might want to get rid of it.

 

ABS may suck on the trail, but my XJ is my DD. Up here in PA winters ABS rocks.

When I go for a bigger lift, my D35 will get chucked. but it is doing the job at the moment.

Did the 8.25 ever come with ABS, or was it only the 35?

 

only the 35s from the XJs the KJs have 8.25s with ABS

and you are the first person the prefers ABS over real brakes on snow that I've met.

 

Just pull the ABS fuse, brakes will work normal. Then replace fuse when you want the ABS to work, and the ABS light to go off.

 

why dont you like ABS on snowy roads?
