Jesse J Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 Ok so I know this topic has been covered a bunch of times but I ordered some extended stainless brake lines from Iron Rock offroad and they are not going to ship them in the time I need them. Is there a place that sells the correct length lines preferably a brick and mortar store I can go to? My main issue is that everything for a cherokee is 4-6 inches of lift which I don't think is long enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghetdjc320 Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 YJ lines are good for about 4” over stock. Extended length YJ lines work for the front as needed. Is you lift over 6”? On my soa I run the C1500 line and it works well. here is some additional info: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesse J Posted September 6, 2021 Author Share Posted September 6, 2021 I also need an extended e brake cable for one side of my waggy axle. Not as essential because one side works but where would I get one of those Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy in Pa Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 For the brake lines, in the front you can bend the hard line straight in the front on both sides and mount it lower on the frame rail to give the brake line more flexibility. This works for 3-4" of lift, but not sure if it will for 5.5". In the rear, in a serious pinch, I used an L bracket mounted to the screw that holds the small junction block to the axle. then loosened the brake lines at that block and turned it 90* so the inlet into the block is aimed straight up. Then remounted the block on the L bracket higher up. Again... works great on 3-4" of lift, and/or as a temp fix and even driving around town, but its too risky to flex the suspension. I used 95 YJ rear e-brake cables on my XJ. They are longer and have the correct ends for using the factory MJ hardware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
