Well, I finally got my OME rear spring packs installed. No way was that Jeep going to win that battle but it was close at times! Now, I am looking at installing an extended rear brake line. I have seen many posts, but what is the best year/model (89/YJ??)to use for a minimum of hassle.

i've heard a lot of good things about several different products, so i cant really comment, since i dont rune xtended ones on my xj yet. as for advice, i'd say go w/ what you can afford and what will offer you the most for your money.

96 Dakota line is PLENTY long. I would think a lot more than 6". I have about 7 inches of very flexy lift in the rear of my MJ and a Dakota line never gets maxed out, and MJ lines are a little longer than XJ lines to start with.
