Brake Lines

Installing a 3.5" DPG lift with JKS LCA and I'm looking at the Crown 5 layer custom brake lines. Anyone used these or should I look at another brand?

Are you going for the flash look? If not in the back you can use the rear brake hose off a 1996 dodge Dakota to replace yours. And in the front, you can just move the brake hose bracket lower.

Not looking for the flash look… looking for safety. Is the 96 Dodge Dakota a direct fit?

Yes, and in the front instead of moving the hard lines and risk breaking them you can use soft lines from a 95 Chevy 1500 2wd truck. They are direct swap but 5-6" longer than stock XJ lines.
