is this hose actually longer then the stock 87-89 xj hose?

i have one at my desk at work right now. and if i measure it from the center of the mounted tab at the axle it measures out to about 17".

ok cool. i did searches. but i didn't run across anything that actually said what the length of the rear hose should measure.

like i said the one that i ordered from napa i requested a rear brake hose for a 95 yj no abs. this is what they gave me. measures out to about 17"

i'm just not sure what the stocker measures out to.

I just posted last week that the '95 YJ lines are 4" longer than the stock lines.

Searched huh???

That must mean a stock line is approx. 13".

Well unless my Stanley tape measure is wrong my stock line is 13.5" and my 95 YJ is 18".
But I could'nt find those numbers on the internet, I had to measure them my self.

The photos and numbers have been on the Internet for nearly ten years (and nearly 85000 views in the last six years).

XJHelp (a little outdated, but most of it is still viable information).

Ed, I copied, read, and reread that series of articles about 5 times when I was first starting out in this obsession.
More good real world info there than in everything else I've read, put together.

Must read stuff for noobs.
Dated or not, no one should be allowed to touch an XJ till they read and understand what's written there.

I think I bought a '99 TJ line (not positive on the year) and it was much longer than that.
It also had a long (about 6") formed steel line attached to the frame end that can be rebent for more clearence.
This line works well for me, even with all the flex of my 4 link rear.
