The fronts will be fine if you relocate the bracket down a bit. For the rear it'd be tighter than I like, you can get a rear line for a 95 wrangler off rockauto for about $11.

I am running stainless braided lines for a 6-8" lift on my XJ with a 3.5" lift but I got them for free from a buddy who didn't use them on his XJ stainless braided lines usually run in he 130-150 range for all 3 lines when it comes to braking never go the cheapest route.
Does the RC 3 inch come with a relocation bracket? I know the 4.5 does but idk about the 3 inch.

If you're concerned about the fronts, go ahead and get front lines for the 95 wrangler too...about $11 each.

Nah, sorry, I don't. Just go to rockauto.com and use the part finder to select a 1995 wrangler, look at the brake lines. There will be several to choose from.

There's a chart for CA length based on different lift heights on here somewhere. Search for it.

For the T/B, attach the fixed end and leave the adjustable end loose. Sit the jeep on the ground and bounce the front end a little. Measure from the inside of each tire to the frame rail. Push on the body or wiggle the steering wheel until the measurement is the same on each side. Now crawl under and adjust the length of the T/B until it lines up with where it mounts. Mount the other end and tighten the jam nut on the T/B.

Some T/B's adjust on the axle side, some on the frame side, doesn't really change how you do it.

Hello all, I am about to purchase a Rough Country lift and I thought I remember seeing a post saying to talk to a specific person on the forum about ordering through for a discount. Cant remember who this was so I was hoping if anyone knows the guy or perhaps he sees this. Just trying to save a buck and get the best deal. Thanks guys.

They make control arms? Go to any manufacturer website and they should have an install PDF with the right lengths.

I called them the other day and asked if they give a discount for being a member of this forum and the dude said not since like 2010. lol. So thats why I figured Id ask around to see if I can get in touch with the guy people talked about in the posts on here. Hopefully there isnt two Jasons working there now lol.

I wanted RE... I just wanna stay at a 3inch lift to avoid the sye and driveline problem. I hear from people online the 3.5 lift nets more than that for lift. Plus they're a lot more expensive... I'm on a budget for now.

It's more expensive up front , but cheaper then buying Rough Country and replacing it all a year or so down the road , When it comes to suspension you get what you pay for.

Unless you do a junkyard lift, I did 5" for about $200 with OEM quality parts. Of course you can do lower more easily and not worry about sye.
