    Running 2.5" lift, and it looks like my rear brake hose is going to be a little short? Does anyone know where I can get one that's around 20" instead of 18"? I guess I could raise the hose off the axle bracket with a longer bolt but that seams rather hokey. What have others done?

    Hey that looks perfect. 3/8 -24 is that the end for a regular 3/16 brake line?

    best to double check the measurement. what i did is i just looked up the regular brake hose that napa has listed a jeep and read the specs regarding fitting sizes....then looked for a hose with the same fitting sizes.

    Takes a decent parts person but I usually take my old one in for a sample and look at their supply until we find what we need. Can usually get close by looking at the hose specifications.
