Jackrabbit41 Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 So I'm doing my 8.8 swap and i decided that it was good to wait until the day before to figure this out (not). So after rolling this thing around 500 times the brake lines are kinda catywompus. They are in good shape but i just need to put it back. Also my main concern is do the 8.8 brake lines go right into the stock comanche lines? thanks here's some pics of what I have going on.

I got the flange adapter but I need to get some grade 8 hardware for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee21490 Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 I don't remember how i got my brake lines to work for the 8.8, I remember it being really easy though.

DansGreyMj Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 When I did my 8.8 I used two passenger side caliper soft lines from an explorer and used off the shelf parts store hardlines and connected them to an extended xj rear stainless brakeline.

88whitemanche Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 They will fit to the ford lines... You can actually set your hard lines set up like the Comanche and go from there.... Here's a thread I started with a few pics of an 8.8 with the jeep brake line set up... http://comancheclub.com/topic/48207-88-lsd-or-not-lsd/page-2?do=findComment&comment=491572 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
