Description
Product Overview
If your 1987-2006 Jeep still has original rubber brake lines, they're a ticking time bomb. Two decades of heat cycling, UV exposure, and brake fluid absorption leave rubber internally swollen, externally cracked, and dangerously weak. The iFJF Stainless Steel Extended Brake Line Kit replaces aging factory rubber with modern braided stainless construction AND adds the extra length lifted suspensions need. Whether restoring a trail-worn XJ or building a lifted YJ, this is the brake upgrade that protects both performance and safety.
Key Features
-
DOT FMVSS-106 Certified — Fully street-legal in all 50 states. Meets federal safety standards with the added protection of stainless armor.
-
Braided Stainless Steel Armor — Tough stainless jacket protects the inner line from rock strikes, trail debris, and UV/chemical breakdown.
-
Extended Length for Lifted Vehicles — Critical extra length prevents brake line tension, binding, or snapping during full articulation on lifted rigs.
-
PTFE Inner Liner — Teflon core is chemically inert to brake fluid. Won't swell or degrade. Maintains consistent diameter for linear pedal feel.
-
Four-Platform Coverage — One kit fits Cherokee XJ (1984-2001), Grand Cherokee ZJ (1993-1998), Wrangler YJ (1987-1995), and Wrangler TJ (1997-2006).

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are these longer than factory lines?
A: Yes — extended-length suitable for up to 4 inches of lift. Prevents binding at full suspension droop.
Q: Can I install on a stock-height Jeep?
A: Yes. Extended length won't cause issues if properly routed. The braided stainless upgrade alone is worth it even without a lift.
Q: Do stainless lines improve pedal feel?
A: Yes — rubber lines expand under pressure (softer pedal). The stainless braided jacket prevents expansion for a firmer, more linear pedal response.
Q: How often should stainless lines be replaced?
A: With proper installation (no rubbing/kinking), they typically last the vehicle's life. Inspect annually for outer jacket abrasion.
Q: Complete set?
A: This kit includes the front brake line pair. Rear line sold separately if needed.
