I am so close to finishing my disk break swap from a 1996 ZJ. I have everything done but the lines for the breaks keep dripping. I was told a soft brake line from a 1995 YJ will bolt onto the hard line then into the caliper is this correct? Can anyone put a link of a soft brake line that will go from the XJ factory to the ZJ caliper thanks.

Take your current ones off, measure the length, add onto that what you need, if any, and go buy new ones. Simple.

Any hydraulic shop can fix you up.

I believe you use the soft lines from the zj and then use 3/16 hard line to go from the soft lines to the the center line on the axle that goes up to the body.....the YJ line is a replacement for the center soft line it is three inches longer than stock...I havent done this swap but from what I remember thats how it goes

yeah i did the zj swap on my xj d44 i kept all the stock hardlines on the axle and they fit perfect into the softlines coming off of the zj calipers

Ya, the soft lines from the ZJ will hook up to the factory XJ hard lines. You will however, have extra length of hard line that you will have to deal with. You can creatively bend them to take up the slack. I got a flaring tool, shortened the lines then re-flared them to fit.

Thank you I am so close.

All done thanks the lines from the ZJ fit up perfectly.

Well done! Hopefully you will be enjoying increased stopping power and much easier maintenance from now on.
