searched...im sure its out there but im impatient. i just boosted my 87 about 2.5" maybe 3" in the rear. the rear brake line will rip off if i flex it at all...so, i need to pick up a longer one this weekend before i wheel and i don't have time to mail order one or go out to quadratec and pick up a braided line. So my question is whether or not a yj line is longer and would be an ample replacement for my stock piece. i have heard the front lines are longer but can't remember whether the rear is or not. thanks

The rear line is also supposed to be a good longer replacement brake hose, go to this link for info and even some pics.

i made the mistake of getting the lines for ABS. at the time i put them in i had abs, but i also had the 8.25 waiting to go in. i could have saved a lot of coin by getting the lines for non-abs equipped and then disabling my abs by pulling the relays since its toast now.

hope it saves someone some work and $$.

I used YJ lines for all of mine, they are a bit longer, with a flexy 6.5" lift they never max out.
