Rugged Ridge/Rubicon Express Stainless Steel Brake Line Installation

As a direct result of installing the TeraFlex Falcon 3.3 shocks, I have installed longer (24” front / 20” Rear) Stainless steel brake lines. I initially went with the rugged ridge kit as it advertised these specs; the rear lines were perfect, however, the front lines were 4” SHORTER than stock. Not longer as advertised. This was unacceptable; the droop on the Falcon 3.3s was borderline with the stock lines; there was no way that a shorter one would survive the extra travel! Rugged Ridge claimed this was a packaging error, however, I have found quite a few reviews of their JK kit (RUG16734.10) claiming identical issues.

I returned the Garbage Ridge lines and installed the lines I wanted to go with in the first place but didn’t because they were out of stock at the time: Rubicon Express Front & Rear Lines (RE1530 & RE1540).
