Anybody have any brakeline or ESP line issues with their lift? Are the Rusty's extensions anygood? Any other brands ? I like the look/function of the Crown brand kevlar wrapped stainless steel brake lines. Is there enough slack in ESP line? Anyone modded this or is there something available- like an extension? Thanks - Joe

 

with 2.5" of lift, you really do want to install a set of brake line extensions in the rear and whatever comes with your kit should do the trick. up front, they will not be necessary.

 

Wayoflife- Thank you. I just got the RC 2.5 BB, I don't think the kit has any brake line relocators and I'm already about 1" lift w/ Unlimited Rubi shocks/coils. I guess I'll get the Rusty's for the rear like you said. What about parking brake line? Thanks- Joe

 

honestly, you can practically make relocators yourself and for cheap. all you need is a strip of 1" x 4" x 1/8" aluminum, drill a couple of holes and bolt it up to your jeep's frame rails using the factory bolt and then secure your brake hard line to it using a new bolt and nylock nut. all these things can be found at lowes hardware or ace or truevalue, etc. if you don't want to make them, you might want to contact RC first. i know they make them for their other lift kits and i'd bet you can get them for dirt cheap.

 

i just ordered the skjacker brakets when i got my lift, there only 15 bux

 

Okay- thanks, I may take the wifes car to Lowes after I get it apart and get some sort of brackets. Joe ( if she lets me)

 

does anyone know if the brake lines are the same as the older XJ lines. turns out that I have some of the old ones lying around. I'm thinking that it won't work, but you never know till you ask

 

don't know for sure. the banjo bolts are different for sure but i don't know by how much.... maybe not enough to matter.

 

I'll have to take a look at that tonight.
