Just wondering what sort of setup anyone with a 3"+ lift has for their rear + front brake lines...

 

So the braided line is flexible?

 

Yup its a direct DOT approved replacement

 

Yup. Very true but is also more expensive. They way I do things is: do it right the first time and you will never have to replace/mess with it again.

Drop brackets work great but I've also seen failures and the stock lines are rubber which can easily be split, where the stainless braided lines are strong and flexible.

 

Ty for the replies.

I was thinking of only doing the fronts with the flex line, but now I think i'll just fork over the extra coin and do the rear in the same way.

Could someone post a picture of what the end product looks like?

I installed the crown brake lines too. Here is a pic of the rear driver's side (sorry for poor quality it's all I had on my phone).



Edit: FYI--I also rerouted my hard lines up a bit. I felt the sway bar end link bolts were coming too close at full stuff.

 

Thanks, that pic actually answers a few questions.

 

I vote no on the drop brackets. I did that on my truck and its just not as nice. Of course it doesnt flex like a jeep does either. On the Jeep we used the braided lines RK kit came with. Id for sure do extended lines over drop brackets. Not to mention i think it was easier to do the extended lines then drop brackets

 

So, if you just extend the brake lines, what happens to the abs lines?

 

Good question, I remember having to dc those during my lift install. Completely forgot about those...
