Just been watching that bleepin jeep guy on utube fit stock yj brake hoses to an xj for use with a lift kit, anybody done this? seems to make sense to me.

[JamesH]

Yes, worked well for 2-3" lift I had for while.

I'm using YJ hoses on my TJ.

LLama do the extended brake lines for the XJ for about £90 delivered so I'm gonna see if they are cheaper from the factors.

[just-boot-it!]

The stock yj hoses are a bit more than the braided ones but I prefer the look for that bit extra cost so gonna buy those, heard they work with a 5 inch long arm kit so should be fine with my 3 inch.

[JamesH]

They are never going to work with a 5" long arm kit, unless it's setup ridiculously badly. I maxed mine out with a 2.5-3" lift and standard RE flex arms.

You recon 3 inch with disconnects should be ok james?

Use a helper spring..

[JamesH]

Should be, you can bend the little Z in the hard brakeline out to being straight for a bit extra if needed. I didn't change mine until I went much bigger.

Cheers,  one last question,  I found some on jeepey mart but they are non abs, what were yours?

[JamesH]

Can't remember, sorry, was a long time ago.
