Depending on the brand, most offer different lengths for different size lifts. I'll also go measure them after work tomorrow if I remember too.

Wait a minute, the rear is 25"?! That seems awful long, just did some measuring on my current setup. Typo? Does that thing hit the body? Or the ground?! Lol. The front length seems like a good fit for me, but that rear.. Think I may have to look for a different style. Thanks!

Yeah 25", I'll take a pic later if you want but it doesn't cause any problems, the front actually worry me more because of the possibility of rubbing.

So I was to lazy to measure them since someone already did, but i took pics!

Note: It looks like it's hitting the leaf spring, but it isn't.

EMAXX620, first, great pics, thanks. next, how much lift do you have? Looks maybe 5- 6" range? Do you even get close to full stretch on them when you are fully drooped? doesn't seem like you would, but?

Also, what is the story on that flex tubing under your air box area in your second pic? Intradesting...

Thanks! Bear

It is supposed to be about 5.5" but It seems like it's a bit higher. I just recently did the lift, and haven't been able to flex it out with the new lift on yet. I don't think ill stretch them all the way with short arms.

The flex tubing is for my snorkel.

Just put my 1.5" wheel spacers on last night and didn't get an updated picture yet (looks better now!)

I assume that you are referring to the front lines. What about the rear? Are those 3"ish longer too?

unless you want the ss ones, the yj stock ones are a lot longer, go to a local carquest or napa, whatever and get stock yj ones would probably be cheaper the the RC ss ones, fwiw I have rugged ridge ss ones, the freshly bled system helps the most, if theyre going on a Cherokee I would also get a piece of new hardline to patch the rear line where it goes to the softline and most seem to rust and break when you take the clip out that holds the line in
