8.8 brakelines ?

Just want to know how you guys running 8.8's route your brake lines. I have the stock brakelines that came with it. While in the exploder being spring under the were tucked up nice and neat. Now that I'm spring over in the xj they hang below the leaf springs. The brakelines are not long enough to wrap them over the leafs like I would like and trying to do so they kinda bend backwards when I try to put them over the top. One question I have is the banjo fittings on the line that bolts to the caliper... Are they supposed to go where they are currently or can I rotate them for better placement. If any one has any pics or advice I would appreciate it. Thanks.

Thats stock for a sprung over 8.8 could hit a junkyard and snag the brake lines from any ranger 7.5 !"$ I.8n have the same brake line pattern.

That is for drum brakes. With discs you need a flexible line to accommodate for caliper movement.

Swap to mustang softlines on the ends off of the stock ranger hard lines.

I'd say make your own with flex lines, then you can have it anyway you like. I recommend stainless.

I usually purchase a second pass side Explorer hose, and weld a little bracket onto the backside of the spring pad (like on that Ranger) to secure the end of the hose.

OEM Jeep rear disc hoses also work.
