jeep_freek88 Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 What is the tallest lift you can put on a comanche without getting longer brake lines??? :USAflag: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 I'd say 2 inches. 4 inches if you will never EVER cross-your-heart-and-hope-to-die take it off road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DansGreyMj Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Atleast straighten the hard line and mount it lower. Hope that made sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeep_freek88 Posted August 4, 2008 Author Share Posted August 4, 2008 Thanks. Any opinion on rough country suspension lift kits? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DansGreyMj Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 They're good for the money, but thats just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLHTAZ Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 You wouldn't want to try this with the stock lines, but you will be OK for daily use. I have the 3.5" Rubicon Express lift on mine using the stock lines, but it is a poser that never goes off the pavement ;) :D . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89eliminator Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 the rears you will need to lengthen on anything over 4in or something like that. the fronts you can straighten out the hard line and mount it lower. i did that and I'm running 6.5in coils. the line never gets tight when fully flexed.

Motion Offroad Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Thanks. Any opinion on rough country suspension lift kits? Kinda late now isn't it? Kit leaves out a lot of things that are needed at that height. Plus having rear AAL's won't last very long if you use your MJ as a truck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeep_freek88 Posted August 5, 2008 Author Share Posted August 5, 2008 thank for the advise however for the lift kit I bought the cost was a factor total for whole kit including u-bolts, 5shock boots, steering stabelizer, nitro 9000 shocks, rear shorty add leaf, and front coil springs + shipping $375.00 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvusse Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 On the original question, I agree with Eagle on 2", at least for the front. I run 1.75" spacers and at full flex (with sway bar disconnected) and steering lock the rubber brake hose is stretched tight. Don't know about the rear, though.

Eagle Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 The problem with straightening out the front hard lines to move the ends lower is that you are trying to re-bend 20-year old steel lines. You might be able to re-bend them. Or ... they might crack. When that happens, in addition to needing new hoses you also need to replace the hard lines. I realize I'm the resident Olde Pharte around here, but IMHO it's sometimes better to do it right the first time and try to avoid the headaches. I've learned from decades of trying the "cheap out" solutions that they very rarely work, and almost never save you the money you thouhgt you were going to save.

jeep_freek88 Posted August 5, 2008 Author Share Posted August 5, 2008 question????? what brake line can i put on that would be longer and bolt right on. I'm trying to avoid getting custom made lines. so in other words what other trucks front brake lines will fit my jeep and do the job? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troy6187 Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 95 dakota for the rear and 88+2wheel drive 3 quarter ton chevy truck lines for the front. more than enough for 6+ inches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 I used 94 or 95 YJ Wrangler front hoses. The hard line at the caliper end had to be rebent slightly but otherwise it's a bolt-on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeep_freek88 Posted August 5, 2008 Author Share Posted August 5, 2008 I'll go with braided ss brake lines for yj in the front. :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeep_freek88 Posted August 5, 2008 Author Share Posted August 5, 2008 would 5" longer than stock brake lines be to much with a 3" lift? :hateputers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 That should be fine. :thumbsup: Just make sure that the lines don't snag on anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
