Lifted TJ's
« on: 01/15/13 - 09:41PM »
A friend has a 97 TJ and wants to lift it 4". Is he going to need longer brake lines and will his drive shafts work or is he going to need longer ones?

I'm sure someone is more experience will chime in, but I believe he will need longer breakline's and potentially an SYE.
Take it out and play with it!

He can relocate his factory brake lines. 

As far as driveshaft he can keep both factory shafts if he does the included skid plate drop.  He will have minimal vibes, but it's good for the budget minded person.

I put a Rough County 4" lift on my 97 TJ and did not have to put on longer brake lines, however, if he disconnects the sway bar, then he will have to get longer brake lines.
