Default crowne brake lines installed

I just finished installing crowne performance brake lines at all 4 corners and Russell speedbleeders and am very pleased with the look and the feel. I have the 4.5 inch AEV kit and had their brake line drop brackets installed which wasn't really an issue but the new lines are excellent and I would say more responsive. When I drove after the install just backing down the driveway,which is a good decline, and hitting the brakes, there was no give. I have 47K miles on original brake hardware and now they feel tighter and more responsive than new. The speedbleeders were convenient as well, I bled them myself in the garage, no issues. I would imagine any braided stainless line will work the same but I am very pleased with my setup and recommend them especially for the price, all four corners for $124 shipped. and the bleeders were $10 a pair.

Thanks! Just installed Crown lines a few days ago, had to do the "have a friend in the driver's seat" venue.

they worked out great, I was a little hesitant screwing them in, they come with thread lock on them and it doesn't just screw right in. I took a wire brush to the bottom of the threads and worked out just fine. On russell's website, they have a chart, the jeeps are listed in the import.
