Any recommendations for longer front brake lines? Have 3 1/2" of lift & will be installing the Vanco BBK on a 2000 TJ
Just need new crush washers.
The steel braid had nothing to do with the lines not breaking.While not necessary, my JKS 22" braided stainless lines did not break when I lost a wheel due to a bearing failure.
Didn't say it did, but I don't think a stock line would have survived the same abuse.The steel braid had nothing to do with the lines not breaking.
The steel braid has nothing to do with any of that. All stock brake lines are reinforced multi-layer and some are kevlar reinforced too.Didn't say it did, but I don't think a stock line would have survived the same abuse.
They are also multi-layer and Kevlar reinforced.
You can see in the picture where the outer coating was stripped off, which would have most likely cut through a normal rubber line. Not sure why you're arguing against these. Increased protection from rocks and branches, firmer pedal feel, and looks really cool. What's not to like?The steel braid has nothing to do with any of that.

No there is NOT a firmer pedal feel with brake lines with an outer layer of stainless steel braid, that's just bullshit hype they claim to get people to buy them. OEM brake lines are reinforced multiple layer lines and they do NOT expand under brake line pressure even if you used superhuman strength to stomp on the brake pedal. They're not windshield washer hoses.You can see in the picture where the outer coating was stripped off, which would have most likely cut through a normal rubber line.

Mine were put on by the PO. Haven't decided what I will replace them with yet.Cost and availability.
Its the Teflon core that prevents expansion. Are you implying that rubber can do the same thing.No there is NOT a firmer pedal feel with brake lines with an outer layer of stainless steel braid, that's just bullshit hype they claim to get people to buy them.

You need to understand that brake line hoses are not simple rubber hoses, they are complex multi-layer reinforced hoses that have to meet a very tough DOT specification as below...Its the Teflon core that prevents expansion. Are you implying that rubber can do the same thing.
Can you show me your source/proof for this statement. Just trying to learn and be more informed on the subject. Everything I've seen disagrees with you.No there is NOT a firmer pedal feel with brake lines with an outer layer of stainless steel braid, that's just bullshit hype they claim to get people to buy them.
