Rokhound Posted November 30, 2006 Posted November 30, 2006 I am running a 6" lift I need front brake lines I no that you guys run stainless steel lines but I want something cheaper I was thinking about one off anther Jeep or what ever it would be. Price and part number would be great
JOMJ87 Posted November 30, 2006 Posted November 30, 2006 Got a free Idea for you to try... Take the hardline clamp off that holds it on the body and straiten it out and remount it lower. I did it to mine and can try to get some pics tommorrow. I also think YJ lines are longer IIRC. Cole
Rokhound Posted November 30, 2006 Author Posted November 30, 2006 I am willing to try that but what about flex is there enought hose. I just don't want to be out on the trail and snap a brake line but I will look tomorrow. Thanks for the tip.
JOMJ87 Posted November 30, 2006 Posted November 30, 2006 I have run mine up the ramp till the tires lifted in the rear and no probs with it?????? Maybe I just got lucky but I am going to go Steel braided soon along with the rest of my brake parts being changed. Cole
Eagle Posted November 30, 2006 Posted November 30, 2006 Wasn't there a thread on this topic about a week ago? Listing a whole bunch of possibilities? I think the one the author chose was from a Dodge truck, but don't rely on my memory unless you have a death wish. Search might be your friend in this case.
CWLONGSHOT Posted November 30, 2006 Posted November 30, 2006 For the REAR use a mid 90's Dodge Dakota line. For the FRONT I used factory rubber YJ lines with the mounting points lowered. I am at more than 6" of lift. CW

I think the one the author chose was from a Dodge truck, but don't rely on my memory unless you have a death wish. Search might be your friend in this case. yes there was and from that post this is what you had to say "Keep in mind two things: First, the guy who wrote that article was doing a WJ brake conversion, and the WJ calipers are totally different from the MJ calipers. What fits them may or may not fit an MJ. And secondly, he made up his list by looking at pictures on a web site. He says right in his write-up that he doesn't know if the ones he didn't use will fit. Advice like that is dangerous." So I just wanted to no in the end what worked and what you guys used.
