Gonna need to replace my brake lines soon and was looking for some opinions and suggestions on type and length and brand. i have an 88 swb with a 4 inch lift, looking for front and rear lines.

Thanks

Are you asking about the steel hard lines, or the rubber flex hoses?

[smithe1811]

well, both i guess. I'm looking for info on which are better based on experience. i know nothing of them. :cheers:

Up front I'm running Rubicon Express extended SS lines.http://www.rubiconexpress.com/JeepParts/Product.aspx?folder=JPBL&part=RE1553 The drawback to SS is, if you ever needed to "crimp" a line to get off the trail it's hard to do. The rubber lines are more forgiving that way. A pair of vise grips and you have brakes. If I had to do again, I would run longer rubber lines.

 

Rough Country also has a set. http://www.roughcountry.com/jeep_xtras_ss-brakelines.html

 

I don't know the part numbers for longer rubber lines. I know some year models of Dodge 1/2 ton trucks use some long lines.

the hardlines are 3/16" your gonna just have to bend and flare your own. I got 25' spools of line from my local autoparts store.

 

Another option for front brake lines are lines from a WJ, reasonably cheap, and a bit longer than stock.
