Default Rough Country Extended SS Brake Lines, any good?

Just wanted to know if anyone has Rough Country Extended Stainless Lines and if they are happy with them. They are about half the cost of most of the other sets I've seen. Thoughts? Opinions?

Thanks in advance!


ETA: what is the length on these lines?!

I put on a set when I installed my 3" lift, about 6 months ago. A bit overkill as I'll never get much droop on stock arms but I did notice better braking response w/ the braided SS. That could be a result of the whole brake system bleed etc. So far no complaints, however.

I got them to replace the stock rusted out lines. I haven't had any problems at all.

Thumbs up

Thanks guys, so far so good. Appears their is no reason to spend double for a different brand.

Another question, what is their length? Heard it is 24" which would be perfect for me, but I'd like to be sure. Can't seem to find the length info anywhere.

Thanks again!

I got the Rubicon express ones and they are great. A bit pricey since I got them from a local shop but worth it

I got the RC ones. They are stupid long, but that's alright. My one leaks a little bit at the crush washer, but that is most likely my fault and i'll get around to fixing it soon... Other than that, i like them!

Running them with 4.5" and have tons of slack. They are crazy long. Probably the same lines they sell with the 6" kit
