Longer from brake lines and sway bar links
Hi I have a 4.5" RC lift on my MJ as of right now but up front I will be adding some 2" coil spacers. So because Im already pushing the limits on the front brake lines and sway bar end links so I need some longer ones b4 I put the spacers on. Now ive heard that a ford F-150 sway bar end link will work but what years am I looking for and how much longer are they?
And for the front brake lines I've heard that some year jeep wrangler front brake lines will work but again what years am I looking for and how much longer? Any and all help would be much apreshated thanks

You can also use front brake lines from a 2wd GMC 1500 pickup.

The front and rear brake lines from a YJ Wrangler will fit, and they are about 2.5 inches longer. As for the sway bar end links, the rear end links off an early 90's f 250 will fit. Plus they are 3 inches longer, and even have the same offset bend as the stock end links.

I'm not sure what the end links look like on the MJ but I do know that on my XJ I used the rear swaybar links from a 01 Grand Cherokee. They were 3" longer with the same bend in them. I used the frame rail mounts from the GC to make the adapters to make them fit on my swaybar. I can take some pics for you this evening if you want more details.

I have been Finding the longer swaybar links on a lot of different ford trucks at a couple of different lengths too, always on the rear, from about early 80's to early 90's trucks but some just don't have the rear sway bar

www.quadratec.com will have a complete set of steel braided hoses for around a hundred bucks that will fit your MJ perfectly. Never use a junkyard brake hose, you do not want to cheap out on brake parts.
