Does anybody know where I can get longer steel brake lines for a JLUR? I have a 3 1/2 lift and I am afraid if I have to much downward flex it may snap the line. I am having a hard time finding them on the internet. Any help is appreciated

No need for extended brake lines with a 3.5" lift. There should be earlier steps in the instructions that will ensure that there's enough slack when its all said and done.

You will be fine. Feel free to bend a bracket here and there but no reason to extend.

I agree and they have great calendars for your garage to help you keep track of the date, and you know, other stuff you might want to look at.

You could get the Teraflex brake line anchors for the JK same for JL and free up a ton of length. Just a thought... worst part is prying the metal crap off the hose to install them but well worth it.

Yeah...... I didn’t trust myself to pry bracket off that hooked to stock control arm, I used grinder and cut the bracket off, left the pinched on piece on the brake line. Lol.
The ones for jk will work?
Yes they will work great. You can still get the metal piece off, just will take some careful prying. Totally worth it to get it all done though!

I attached a pic to the above post so you can see how I routed it.
Sweet dude, thanks. I’m not having any issues with my current setup, but am planning to increase shock travel, so this is a must do.
appreciate it...... just ordered a set.
