JBA brake lines???? for real????

[bigBlue]

Just got off the phone with Marlin at JBA and he told me that I should get the brake line relocation kit when I put the OME948's or Skyjacker LIB25R's on the rear. Has anyone needed a $200 brake relocation kit on just 2.5" of lift?

On 06-7 KJs need them.

On an 02-05....they'd be nice to have, but not urgently needed. Now...greater than 2.5"....probably....

They are not needed at all on 02-05s, not even "nice to have"

I'd highly recommend extended brake lines for any year KJ or drop bracket,rear mostly.The fronts are plenty long enough for up to a 6" lift but the rear is barely long enough for a 1.5" lift.I know this true for '02 model year since mine was a banjo string before reaching full flex.


You can do a $5 drop bracket for the rear but those braided lines are real nice and give a better brake pedal feel since the braided lines will not flex like the OEM rubber lines.

My JBA 4" kit came with extended lines for front & rear. Mine's a 2003, & there is no need to relocate the lines on it.
