Longer brake line

Unread post by Carl McFly »

My front brake hoses are stressed when flexed out and I'm looking for longer replacements. Any options besides going after market? RE has a nice set for about $80, stainless steel, 20 inches (stock length is 16.25). I have 4 inches total lift, these are for my TJ

thanks

There's a place in Lowell that will make them up whatever length and color you want while you wait for $32.50 each. That's where I got mine from. Company info below.

i went with a set of YJ brake lines, relocated to a lower mounting spot on the frame. quick, cheap, and zero problems so far! FYI, my shocks are 4.5" lift shocks so i have lots of droop.
