xjustinx Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Wanted to see everyone is doing for breather hoses on the front axle? Wanted to come up with something clean with the extra hose needed to compensate for the extra axle droop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benjy_26 Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Longer hose would work, I expect... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Project Comanche Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Spare air line from harbor freight. Coiled air line stays tidy and flexes with suspension. (Sorry it's a little dark. Vent is from the top of the axle on drivers side.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dankicksass Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 That looks great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incommando Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 If you run a longer length of regular tubing you can use a light tension return spring clipped around the hose and attached to the body that will allow the hose to droop when needed but will pull it back up at ride height so it isn't dangling. This works with longer brake lines, too, but you may have to use a stronger spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue XJ Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 I run my front axle vent tube up the upper control arm, I have it ziptied to the arm, then it goes up the firewall to over the brake booster in the engine compartment. My rear axle I just have a long hose running straight up to the bed, then forward to the brake booster in the engine compartment. I used 3/8" clear tubing for all of them, since its cheap.

Why are you applying vacuum to your axles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue XJ Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 I'm not? They run to the brake booster area to keep them out of water, they arent connected to the vacuum system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way you described it sounded like you had applied vac from the booster assy to the axles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
