just finished installing my claytons tj stretch kit. i need the rear brake line that is the soft line from the hard line on the frame to the axle tube. it needs to be about 10 inches longer. where can i buy this or do i have to get it "made" at a local parts store?

Build your own. Aeroquip TFE braided lines are super easy to assemble to whatever length you need. -04 will work just fine, and you can adapt them to your stock hard line on the frame and axle.

check out the one off of a 1/2ton ram something like a '92 would work. I'm not 100% sure that it is the full 10" but it is much longer than the anything oem I have seen.

I ran a hardline down the drivers side upper link and used a factory chevy truck rear brake hose. The parts store let me look through their Wagner brake book and I found a soft line with two 3/16" female ends. I used that hose to connect the factory hardline to the hardline I made on the upper link.

The parts guy at my local Bumper to Bumper handed me the brake line book.....look up your line, and start paging through the book looking at pick up truck lines, most are WAY longer then a stock Jeep line and they'll have the same ends in many cases.





EDIT: DAMN IT!! Chris beat me to it :flipoff2:

#3 is a more standard size and the pedal feel will be improved.
