Are these brake hoses compatible with disc brakes?

No, these specific front brake hoses are designed for models equipped with 11-inch front drum brakes. For disc brake applications, you would need a different set of hoses.

What is the advantage of stainless steel braided brake hoses over rubber ones?

Stainless steel braided hoses offer improved durability and corrosion resistance. They also tend to expand less under pressure than rubber hoses, which can lead to a firmer and more consistent brake pedal feel, especially during hard braking.

Do these hoses come with the necessary fittings or hardware for installation?

The product description specifies that this is a pair of front brake hoses. While they are designed as a direct replacement, it's always recommended to refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions or consult a mechanic to confirm if any additional hardware or fittings are required for your specific vehicle.

Product Details

When you're working on your 1976-1978 Jeep CJ5 or CJ7, especially if it's been lifted, you'll want to make sure your brake hoses are up to the task. This product includes a pair of front brake hoses, designed to give you an extra 4 inches of length compared to the original equipment lines. This added length is crucial for lifted vehicles, preventing the hoses from stretching or binding during suspension travel.

These hoses are built with a tough stainless steel braided outer cover over a Teflon inner hose. This construction helps them withstand the rigors of off-roading and resist corrosion, keeping them in good shape for a long time. The improved design helps prevent the soft brake pedal feel that can happen when stock rubber hoses expand under pressure, leading to more consistent braking performance.

This kit is specifically for models equipped with 11-inch front drum brakes. If you're looking for the rear brake hose, you'll need part number 16735.04. These hoses meet or exceed DOT MVSS-106 regulations for safety and come with a 5-year limited warranty from Rugged Ridge.
