Why do I need longer brake hoses on a lifted Jeep?

When you lift a Jeep, the suspension travel increases. Stock-length brake hoses can become stretched or strained during full suspension articulation, potentially leading to damage or reduced braking performance. These extended hoses provide the necessary slack for lifted applications.

What's the benefit of stainless steel braided brake hoses over rubber ones?

Stainless steel braided hoses are more durable and resistant to abrasion and punctures from off-road debris. They also tend to expand less under braking pressure than rubber hoses, which can result in a firmer and more responsive brake pedal feel.

Do these brake hoses come with all the necessary hardware for installation?

This kit includes the front brake hoses. It's recommended to refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for a complete list of any additional hardware or tools that may be required for proper installation.

Product Details

If you've lifted your Jeep CJ and are looking to upgrade the braking system, these extended stainless steel brake hoses from Rugged Ridge are a solid choice. They give you that extra length needed for suspension travel on lifted vehicles, ensuring your brake lines aren't strained during articulation. Plus, the stainless steel braiding offers better protection against trail hazards compared to standard rubber hoses.

These hoses are built with a Teflon inner lining to handle the demands of off-roading and provide a firmer brake pedal feel by resisting expansion under pressure. The stainless steel outer cover not only adds durability but also resists corrosion, keeping them looking good and functioning well for a long time. They meet or exceed DOT safety regulations, so you know they're built right.

This pair is designed as a direct replacement for your stock front brake hoses, offering about 4 inches of additional length. They're a practical upgrade for any CJ owner who takes their Jeep off the pavement.
