Ok guys, I am wondering if I can just get an extended rear brakeline for a lifted explorer and bolt it up to my factory frame connection? If so who makes one? I would prefer not to bend a new hardline if I don't have too. Any Cheap tricks? Thanks.:confused:

Can't help you out, but try a search, cause i know there is some guys on here that have 8.8's in their XJ's,

Thanks, I tried a search to no avail. I know I can redo the whole brakeline system, I was just wondering If I can use the stock hardlines.:rasta:

I used the same YJ stuff. I just built a bracket off one diff cover bolt with a piece of flat steel to post the connector off the axle a few inches. Worked fine.

Thanks Keith, got any pics of your bracket? Oh and YJ4Life:flipoff2: I did a search, spent about 45 minutes sifting through threads, didn't find what I was looking for so I posted this thread. Just cuz it says I'm a newbie doesn't mean I am:flipoff2: :flipoff2:

Scott,

I was also under the impression that the YJ lines would work ok. But, I have not done it...so I should keep my mouth shut.
