I haven't searched yet (in a rush to get going) but I need new front brakelines (yup.. been running stock with no problems). Aren't the YJ brakelines from RE the same as the ZJ ones, just longer?

I think so, not posive. I know the Syjackers are.

I bought steel braided lines from a local Aeroquip guy.. He made them for me for something like $25 each for fronts (dont remember the length but he makes them to order..) and $32 for a 36" long back one...

They are pretty cool looking and they come in blue silver or yellow for that extra bling effect...

NOt a good picture but here is my rear brake line..

OH yeah... I guess I could have answered that as well... They are longer..

For that mater Chevy lines are longer to.. (I think its 78 chevy truck) And alot of brake lines have the same ends... I used my stock lines right into the 8.8 no problem so therefore it stands to reason that ford lines would work as well....

But before you buy any let me know I am going to be going to the shop again very soon I have been slowly converting all the machinary at work over to braided steel lines and its time to buy some more..l :smt003

36" rear line! Whoa. I had one made for mine and it's like 25" which is long enough that I had to coil it up so it didn't rub on stuff.

Mine runs all the way from the splitter to the hard line.. And its a little long but does not need to be coiled.. I do have it zip tied up out of the way and dropping straight down toward the axle...
