You may want to take a look at your hardline there. it looks like it has some soft spots in it from excessive straightening and bending.
Jerry jerry jerry! :-D Ooooh stainless! That's definitely for me... besides it will match the ten ft stainless lines I have up front :-) I haven't looked at the issue in a while. I look forward to revisiting it.

rwood93, so what is your plan? Now that you have the brakeline outside of the stock mount, do you plan to fasten it to the mount in some fashion, I.E. and extended bracket of some sort? The reason I ask is because you don't want the flexline just hanging from the hardline with no other support because it will vibrate and cause your hardline to eventually crack, leak and cause your brakes to fail. Even if you just take a ziptie and tie it around the hardline and then run it through the hole in the stock mount that will give it a little bit of support and will last until you can get an extended flexline. I'm trying to think here but I believe it is a flexline off of a Jeep YJ (Square headlights) the is a good replacement for an OEM XJ flexline. It bolts right up and it is quite a bit longer.

I made this bracket from 1.5" angle iron to replace the OEM mount on my '88 XJ. 9 years later when stripping it for parts, I removed it and installed it on my '99 XJ. I use a MJ rear hose, because it's longer than the XJ hose. The clip that holds the hose to the bracket is the OEM clip. It bolts to the frame nut for the rear sway bar with the oem bolt. Plenty strong, plenty safe.

Uh.... I took a rear brake line from a 95 wrangler and its 3 inches longer, bolts to stock mount and takes 10 minutes to install.
