brake line extension

RabidRabit · Dec 10, 2008

My 89XJ is now sitting at 5"-51/2". If I flex out the brake lines I have will break. Does anyone know any junk yard swaps that will give me the extension I need or a part number for one that will work?

front lines from a mid 80-s k3500 GMC will work and are quite a bit longer.

Fronts chevy 1500 1/2 ton brake lines will work, maybe someone has the PN's lying around.

did you already re-locate your front hard lines? That gains about 2" or so.

Not to hijack but, on the rear brake line, what holds the block (axle end of flexible line) in place the hard lines or does it bolt to the axle in some way?

It bolts to the axle.
