Extended Rear Brake Line

[jerardisflossin]

I posted on the Facebook group and got a lot of mixed opinions. Does a Cherokee extended rear line work on a MJ? It looks like Crown differentiates between MJ & XJ and groups it with the SJ? It looks like the block is the same, however is our axles double or bubble flare?

I have no idea how it compares to an XJ in length, mounting, flares, or anything.   I used a stock Dakota line.  plenty longer than stock MJ.   other guys have used other fullsize trucks' lines.

X2 on the Dakota line, that's what I used.

If I am going to upgrade I prefer to go stainless but if all else fails I will go to a Dakota line.

what's the benefit of the stainless?

95 Dakota. Perfect for 3+ inches of lift.

XJ soft lines will mate up fine with the MJ hard lines.  

 

I can recommend the Rough Country kit, P/N 89715.  Includes front and rear SS lines spec'd for 4-6" lift.  Well made. Hooked right up.

MJs are double flared, not bubble-flared.

Isn't XJs bubble flared?

I believe bubble flares started appearing at the same time they added the dual diaphragm brake booster, which would be '95.

My 2000 XJ has a mix of bubble flares and conventional double flares.

Use the Dakota line on my MJ with 4" of lift in the back. It was like 16$ shipped, which was awesome. Shouldnt require modifications to fit. I had to use an adapter though due to deleting my load-in valve at the same time.
