So after I installed my new MBRP exhaust, I must have forgotten to re-route the rear brake lines back onto the bracket... because now I noticed, when re-torquing the bolts to the exhaust, that the brake line was resting against the exhaust pipe, thus it had melted about halfway through. Nice going numb nuts...

SO I am going to get Crown brake lines (because you get 4 and I might as well just do them all) and my question is what length should I get?

I have the Teraflex leveling kit (+2in in front, +1in in back) with 33in wheels. I am planning on getting the +3in brake lines because I will be getting a 3in lift in the future.

I realize that the brake lines might be too long now, but will they still work? Anybody else done something similar and is it OK to do? Tips? techniques? suggestions?

..Also if anybody knows of a "how-to" of installing brake lines I would be forever grateful. Thanks fellas!

 

if ordering from northridge, just ask dave.. I have 3.5" lift and got the 3"-4" lines...

 

sorry, hit the button to quick.
There is a write up on Project-JK.. Project-JK.com - Jeep JK Wrangler Resource » Jeep JK Wrangler Stainless Steel Extended Brake Line Installation

I just did mine last weekend and its straight forward. the hardest part is probably bleeding the lines and that wasn't too bad. there's a write-up for that too..
