95 1500 2wd 5.0 or 5.7... Part numbers 77760 and 77761. Don't forget to pry apart the mounting brackets and slide them to the top. Also on one side, I don't remember which, I had to grind the fitting on the house down to fit properly in the caliper.

www.quadratec.com has a full set of extended brake hoses that are steel braided and come in any color you want for around a hundred bucks, and they bolt right on without any mods needed.

Compared to $26 for these I think most would be fine with 30 sec and a grinder lol. Been running with 6" without a problem.

They're for the front. For the rear a Mid-90's dakota soft line is 6" longer than the XJ one IIRC.
