So I am wrapping up a disc brake conversion on my Dana 35 TJ. I had a question regarding the brake lines and how other people have done it. I am using ZJ components and using new ZJ rear soft lines.
This is not my first time doing a brake conversion on a Jeep so it was quick getting to this point. I did it once before on my 8.25 equipped $500 XJ but what I did to hook up the line was wound the hard line around a few times to “shorten” it. It has worked for 2 years now but is REALLY jankey and sketchy.
But I kind of care about the TJ and want to do it in a less sketchy way. I was thinking cutting the line a few inches and re-flaring.
But I am curious if there is a better way to do this that is usually done, no point in re-engamaneering the wheel.
