Paul Bruchal Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Quick info: My Jeep is in NY with my parents. I'm stationed in Ft Benning GA. They are coming to visit in and might bring the MJ with them on a trailer. :D :D :D :D :D I'm about to get my Jeep MJ in July hopefully. I'm going to have the rear breakline installed before coming down here at a garage and I already have 6" lift extended steelbraided lines not installed yet. While I'm having the hard breakline installed, should I have the extended ones installed too? Because I am going to lift the Jeep soon after getting it here. Or wait until I do the lift?

Blue XJ Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 I would have them done at the same time. That way the brakes will only need to be bled once. If they end up looking too long at first, you could always ziptie them out of the way until you get the lift on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Bruchal Posted April 13, 2015 Author Share Posted April 13, 2015 They would still function the same with the extra slack/line? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelbyluvv Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Yes they will function the same. Your brake system is a sealed system so it won't change much. Make sure whoever does them knows about the MJ specific bleeding sequence. This only matters if you still have the load sensor out back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the sequence: passenger rear, driver rear, passenger front, driver front??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelbyluvv Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 As long as the height sensor has been removed and the line is plugged that is the correct method. If not After bleeding the brakes the normal way the rear brake by-pass line must also be bled.Open a front caliper bleed fitting and depress the brake pedal to the floor. This will shuttle the by-pass differential valve and allow fluid to flow through the by-pass line. The brake warning light on the instrument panel will illuminate when the ignition key is in the ON position. This signals the shuttling of the valve.Re-Bleed the rear brake cylinders with the front caliper bleed fitting open.After re-bleeding the rear brake cylinders the entire system must be bled again.Bleed the brake calipers and cylinders in the following sequence:1st -- Right rear2nd -- Left rear3rd -- Right front4th -- Left front Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
