Overview
The Rubicon Express 28 inch front brake line set is a stainless steel front brake line kit named for the Jeep Wrangler YJ in its title. The lines are 28 inches long and sold as a pair. They replace the stock rubber brake lines with braided stainless steel lines that use a Teflon inner hose.
The set suits lifted applications from 4 to 6 inches, and the lines meet DOT requirements. The YJ places them in the 1987 to 1995 range.
Key features
- 28-inch length
- Stainless steel braided lines
- Vinyl protective cover
- Teflon inner hose
- Meets DOT requirements
On the trail
Front brake lines on a YJ travel with the steering and the front suspension, so the routing needs to allow for both. A 28-inch line gives extra length, which can be useful on a lifted vehicle, but excess length can also sag or rub if it is not secured. Check that the line has a clear path through the full range of steering and compression.
Braided stainless lines with a vinyl cover resist abrasion from rocks and brush better than bare rubber. After a trail day, look at the lines for scuffs, loose clips and any seepage at the fittings. Retighten the brackets and recheck the pedal before the next drive.
- Route the line to clear steering at full lock
- Secure extra length away from moving parts
- Inspect the fittings after each trail day
