Mine was a '95 but I seriously doubt it makes much difference. I think that most all YJ brakes were the same.

That is the route I went also. I found that the autozone brake lines were not too much longer than stock and really close to the same price as RC's so I bought theres also. Now I don't have to worry about the length for awhile.

well I started to replace that line and I broke the main line at the frame, so can I replace part of that line or all the stincking way to the junction block at the master????

I found the splice kit at napa.

I used the compresion fitting and new 3' line from napa, I do know how to use a flaring tool but every thing I have seen says the way I did it is the way to go, if it is not please let me know.

For future reference, I have Brakeline Extenders available.
No need to mess with rusted steel lines.
Great for 3-3.5 lifts.

Bolts between the rear nrakeline and axle. Relocates the mounting 2" up and 2" forward.
