Default Chevy brake line question
Will a 95 chevy silverado brake line fit my 99 xj without modification? I've got 5.5 lift.

make sure its the 2WD 1500 front lines. There is a non-XJ bracket on the line that you may want to remove. But, yes the line will be plug n pray.

Carquest/AAP PN is BHA38620, and BHA 38621

Thanks for the help. I see that the chevy lines are longer and cheaper than the yj lines. Will the rear line be the same?

Some dodge lines will work in the rear. 5.5'' may be pushing any of the stock lines though. You running 37s with that amount of lift?

I have a Dodge Dakota rear line on a 3.5'' lift. It's about 6'' longer. I read that Dodge Ram van lines are around 10'' longer. I can't say what year work or give a part number though.

Dodge Ram van lines are used in front. Not rear

So what would be a good alternative for the rear brake hose?

I actually used the bracket to mount to the Jeep,I slid it farther down the line and drilled new holes to mount it.
