Jeep Driver Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 Next time I buy........... http://www.summitracing.com/search/product-line/allstar-performance-braided-steel-brake-lines I just got off the phone with Summit.........if you find them cheaper......they will not only match but come below any advertised price. They beat the price on a SPAL switch I just bought. I ran braided steel lines on my motorcycles back in the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carnuck Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 I just go with stock YJ hoses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue XJ Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 For 3" of lift I would just do YJ lines. I ran them at 4.5" with no issue, you can straighten the hard line on the frame for a little more length too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 yup, stock 95 YJ lines up front and stock 95 Dakota line in the back give plenty of length. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue XJ Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 To do 4.5" lift I had to straighten the hard lines to get enough length. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvusse Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Some year Chevy 1500 lines work for the front as wel, and are longer than YJ ones. For the rear, a TJ one is slightly longer than a Dakota one. For parking brake cables going to the wheels, passenger side YJ ones are a lot longer than XJ ones and work for it, but don't know how well they work on a Comanche.

Pete M Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 dang it, I keep forgetting about the chevy/TJ lines. :doh: the others are just so ingrained in my brain. :dunno: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
