The thought is to remove and replace with steel braided brake lines which are available from many vendors.
Okay so the delta version is significantly bigger, instead of 13in rotors the delta comes with 14in rotors and as well as much bigger 4 piston calipers so I wont be using the stock anymore. Yeah I was already going to upgrade to the SS lines.

I hadn't looked at these kits in a long time so I had just pulled that up too to see the difference. Jeesh. What size tire are you running or going to run. I think if you were doing 40s that might be a decent idea, but dang it seems like overkill for 35s or 37s. That said, can't dog someone for overspending on a safety item. I'd imagine one of those purchases you'd never regret. I can see why they'd suggest the J8 MC/booster for those calipers now.

as of now I'm only running 35's but have armor all around and a 4 door, plus I drive fast in socal so I figured it was a smart choice. I didn't get the full kit just the front and for rear I got the kit you were talking about with the brackets and little larger rotors. I got the jeep 13k under market value if it was stock, but it came with armor all around and 5 brand new 35's on it with only 40k on the dash so its easier to spend a little more on her haha.
