Default brake lines

Anyone have braided lines or know where I can get some tomorrow? I live on route 2 near leominster.

I'm lifting the jeep to 3" and will need to extend.

I used brackets for mine. NO one around here seems to stock anything for our jeeps. You can make a brake line drop bracket really easily with some steel from the hardware store to get you by. I have a 4" lift and managed to get mine to look just fine without new lines. It will require some bending of the steel lines and the solid part of the brake hose.

As a matter of fact unless you're doing something completely out of the ordinary with your lift, you don't need the extended brake lines. Use the brackets that Texas is talking about. I did and have a 3" TF lift. It came with the brackets. If you must extend the lines then put on the kit, but order the lines from TF or RE. The bummer is, if you're unsure, you have to wait to test (that's the worst).

yeah my plan is to wait until after the components are on to horse around with the brake lines. I have the brackets from the TF BB lift and I was told I could use them. I will get it setup aligned and then do some testing.

I'll Post up my hybird lift process once I get all the parts but here is the start.

Dual rate 3" springs (unsponsered vendor)
Currie Adj arms Uppers and lowers
JKS Adj Track bars Front and Rear
OME Long Travel Shocks
Superlift heavy duty steering stabilizer with relocation bracket
Teraflex Bumpstops and quick disconnects

tossing the 8" quick disconnects as they are to short IMHO. 8.5" length and one of the zerk fittings look to be broken off. Just removed them and put the old rear links on until I can find some replacements.

Funny thing is I'm sure I can repair the zerk fitting it's just I beleive I need 10" length. barnicle. More ordering I guess as I've only found only 1 pair so far used that never got installed.
