I was woundering if anyone could help me out with some suggestions for replacing the brake lines in my 5" lifted XJ, Fronts as well as the soft line for the rear and the E brake as well.

Thanks
SEAN.

For soft lines I used YJ lines frt and rear. for the ebrake cable I just relocated the bracket farther back. This worked fine for me. I sit at 7+"'s of lift.

I had herd of the YJ lines for the front but not the rears, as for the E brake, Mine have been disconnected from the brakes (like that when I bought it)and have since then pulled out of the backing plate. I had herd somthing about full size chev 1500 cables being used for the longer length.

E-brake - 94 YJ passenger-side cables http://www.yuccaman.com/jeep/dana44.html (bottom of the page)

YJ lines will work for the brake hoses, or I went with the RE solutions. As long as they stop me every time, I don't care...

Nope, the crossover moves with the axle so it stays away from the driveshaft. I still had two of the original four springs from the stock e-brake cables as well and those help hold the whole thing up. You can see those on both pics, one is over the muffler and the other is right across from it.
