Pre bent brake lines who has used them and what brand?

[Paul Ruggles]

A friend of mine just bought a 1997 and it needs new brake lines. Usually I bend my own , but I am kinda in a hurry on this one ( he is paying me and I do not want to charge him for the amount of labor involved in custom bent stuff). Does anyone have experience with the dorman or inline tube kits? The dorman line kit is about 120 bucks on Amazon. Inline tube is a little more.

Thanks

I've used Inline Tube for other projects and I picked up THIS KIT for the '98 Sport project.

I got the Inline Tube kit for the rear axle lines. Quality seems good, but the bends weren't perfect. Had to tweak a few of them to get everything to line up. Otherwise no issues.

i went with inline tube. good quality overall, bends/routing was way off around the pig on the rear differential

Awesome. Thanks for the link.

Inline Tube is local too. mine arrived a day after ordering.

Thanks everyone for the info. Bends being off a bit are not a big deal to me as long as they can be tweaked. Starting with something reasonably close will save me alot of time.

I went with the Dorman 919-221 Stainless Steel Brake Line Kit and got it for $110 on ebay. I didn't have to tweak anything, and it literally replaced every hard line in the system. They look great and were an easy install.

Be mindful about fastening to the wheel cylinders. The OEM TJ brake lines have double flared ends. This means they're mushroomed in a very specific way to create a seal with the wheel cylinder so they don't leak. When installing my lines from Inline Tube, the instructions had me progressively tighten like 1/4-1/2 turn past finger tight then back off several times to form the seal.
