Why is a longer brake hose needed for a lifted Jeep?

When you lift a Jeep, the suspension travel increases. A longer brake hose, like this 4-inch extended one, ensures there's enough slack for the suspension to fully extend without stretching or damaging the brake line. This helps maintain brake function and prevents premature wear.

What is the difference between the inner and outer hose materials?

The inner hose is made of Teflon, which is chosen for its durability and resistance to brake fluid. The outer layer is braided stainless steel, providing a strong, corrosion-resistant shield against road debris and trail hazards that could damage a standard rubber hose.

Does this brake hose come with the necessary fittings?

This product is a single rear brake hose. It is designed as a direct replacement for the OE hose and uses the original fittings. Please refer to the manufacturer's instructions for any specific hardware requirements.

Product Details

Starting with a Teflon inner hose designed to handle the rigors of off-roading, this rear brake hose from Rugged Ridge is built tough. It's constructed with a braided stainless steel outer cover, offering better resistance to trail hazards compared to standard rubber hoses. This hose is specifically made to fit your 1966-1973 Jeep CJ5 or CJ6 equipped with 10-inch rear drum brakes.

What really sets this hose apart is its extended length. It's 4 inches longer than the original equipment lines, which is a significant advantage if you've lifted your Jeep. This extra length prevents the hose from stretching or kinking when your suspension is at full droop, helping to maintain a firm brake pedal feel and improve overall braking performance. It meets or exceeds DOT MVSS-106 regulations, so you know it's built to a high safety standard.

This is a single rear brake hose. If you're working on a lifted Jeep, especially one with rear drum brakes, this extended stainless steel hose is a solid choice to ensure your braking system stays reliable.
