Sure did. They came with two copper washers each (not crush washers though) but they still required a good amount of torque to stop leaking. One issue encountered was getting the caliper end of the lines to sink in flush to the mounting face (as there's a raised lip there for alignment of the hose end). It was a pain, but they're on there now.Did you use copper crush washers? You are supposed to have a copper crush washer between the end of the line and the caliper, and another one under the head of the banjo bolt. They make it so you don't have to crank the hell out of the banjo bolts, at least not so much.
Also, keep an eye on those brake lines, if you don't twist/preload them correctly, they can end up rubbing on your sidewalls with the steering/suspension in certain positions. This can happen even with stock size lines. I caught one of mine on my MJ when it had already worn through the outer rubber, braided metal, AND part of the inner tube :shocked: inspect frequently, if they seem like they're rubbing on anything, unbolt the caliper and get them twisted/positioned differently and see if it helps.
Thanks for the tip on pre-torquing the hoses - I did take care to do this when installing them and they should be fine. Worst case scenario, I'll loosen the hard line fittings and twist the hoses around as needed to adjust.
