What that entails is unbolting the hard lines in the front wheel wells, bending the hard line to straighten it out, then reattaching it lower down.
Two problems: First, an older steel line may be partially rusted and brittle, so when you try to bend it it cracks. Then you have to replace it. Second, when it is dropped it is more susceptible to damage.
Buy new lines, for a 94 or 95 Wrangler, and do it right from the git-go.
SharkTJ said:I had the same question. I sucked it up and bought a set of RE Extended Front BL's. It's expensive but it will be done right. I just don't think brakes lines are something to skimp on, just my .02 - no offense to anybody.
Side Note -
RE does not include Front Brake Lines with the XJ 3.5" Super Flex and they should. I haven't wheeled my XJ yet cause I know the second I dis-connect I will snap the brake lines. I use to have a TJ with the RE 3.5" and it came with Extended Front Brake Lines. The TJ and XJ Front ends are pretty much the same so I don't know why they did not include them in the XJ Kit.
