I want to buy yj brake lines for the front since they are a few inches longer. But i want to make sure i order the right part. Can you guys post a link to the part i need?

I used 95 chevy 2wd front hoses. They're like 6 inches longer and you slide the mounting bracket on the hose up and you can still use the stock "frame" mount. Ill post the p/n if you need them. And the rear I used a 93 yj hose bout 4" longer also.

just go to the parts store and order brake hoses for a 1995 jeep yj.

If you want a part number, go to www.rockauto.com and search for brake hoses for a 95 yj. You will get part numbers for every company that makes them.

Agreed. I just ordered YJ brake hoses from an online parts warehouse for like $12 each. They fit perfectly and work great. Perfect matches with almost exactly 3 inches more in length.

ok thanks man. i assume; order them for front and rear..right?

steiner

Right, front and rear. What U can do is an eBay search for YJ brake hose and then use google to go back and confirm the part numbers because the left and right front hoses r different and the pictures might not match the actual part number. Good luck!

use 1995 c1500 chevy 2wd front and 1995 Dakota rear lines

Also a hood choice...they add more length than the YJ lines if u r doing a big lift. The YJ lines were perfect for my 3~4 inch lift.

for some people those are too long and could interfere with the tires or suspension upon travel

I run the c1500 fron lines and I relocated the front hard lines down like 2 or 3 inches, on around 5" of lift

ericfx1984

I don't see how, the first 3 or 4 inch is a hard line, bend the hard line to direct the lines out of harms way, they work awesome,

If I am running a 2 or 3" drop on the hard lines up front then I don't see why they would not work on a 3" lift without relocating the hard lines

ericfx1984

I mean the c1500 lines are 6" longer, plus I am running at least 2" lower on the hard lines, that is at least 8" of additional brake line if you think about it, on 5" of lift, no contact issues

my thought here is I would rather have a line that is a bit 'too long' than to short and have it hanging the axle up on articulation.

I don;t know about your Jeep but my Jeep has way more downward flex than the factory had intended, that tells me I need lines that are longer than the total ammount of lift

Just saying, just because they work for you, doesn't mean they will work for everyone.

If all he needs is the few inches more than stock than achieved by the yj lines, then those will work just fine for him. No reason to have a ton of extra brake hose bouncing around.

I run the chevy lines you are talking about, with a couple of my suspension and wheel/tire setups I had to use small bungee cords to tie them out of the way so they didn't make contact with the tire while turning at ride height. I generally ran a low ride height with lots of droop.
