So what is the problem You are having and did you talk to JBA about it yet? I have the Very extended set on my SFA, not crazy about the extended metal portion but so far so good.

I have them,though bought before Marlin owned JBA.Classic Tube makes the lines.I had no issues installing mine and they gave me the firmer pedal feel I was looking for.Now for the bad,we did go through 3 sets with no luck trying install them on a JBA 4" lift.The problem was the drivers side block that bolts to the drivers side inner wheel well which was the wrong thread size to allow the OEM hard line to screw into it.Do not know if the others were right since we stopped at the first one since it did not work.We never did get them installed and and the owner just got his money back and we made a extended rear drop bracket for the rear line and the front OEM lines are plenty long enough.

I recieved the kit for a 2007 KJ with ABS for a 2.5 inch lift (ie 4-hose set).

Supplied the parts to jeep dealership for installation along with my CRDSTU 2.5 inch lift.

Dealer said that the front lines were shorter than the OEM Stock lines by about 50mm (about 2 inches). So they didn't install them.

The rear lines just couldn't be installed at all- Dealer said that they had the wrong fittings. Huh?.... :shock:

Dam shame cause I really like the look of these lines. Very well made and "look the goods".
I'm a believer of braided lines. If you are extending the length of the lines, then I believe that they should be braided to allow less ballooning under pressure.

I have them on with my lift. Haven't had a problem and they were installed no problem but I got mine after some people had problems.
