LOST JEEPS :: View topic - SkyJacker Lifts for 06 and newer

you need 2 brake line extensions? I thought it was just the one on the rear...or do '06's have two brake hoses????

Oh and for '06's you will need 2 brake line extension due to the ABS/ESP junk,don't let anyone tell you different you will need 2,and I repeat 2 rear brake line extensions for a '06-'07 KJ.Both are easy to make.

TJKJ, I just walked out to look at the KJ (In a foot of snow with just slippers on. You owe me warm toesies). I just have number 1 on my 06. No number 2. Maybe a mid-year model change...

The newer SkyJacker lifts come with "softride coils",same spring rate as OEM.You need the older SkyJacker coils(like I have) for the HD coils,those coils will sag like the Rusty's coil lift.Just get the FrankinLift. Oh and for '06's you will need 2 brake line extension due to the ABS/ESP junk,don't let anyone tell you different you will need 2,and I repeat 2 rear brake line extensions for a '06-'07 KJ.Both are easy to make.

On the 2006 it's just one. I bought the supplies to relocate both sides and I still have the parts for the passenger side. Unless I totally missed something, if so please post a pic of the passenger side so I don't destroy my brake line. I used 1 10MM (99% sure) bolt and 3 nuts. [/img]

Ditto, 06's at least only have one brake line in the rear. Driver side to a splitter, and along the length of the axle to the passenger side.

All the '06 KJ's I've installed lifts on have had 2 brake lines in the rear that need to be extended,both are on the drivers side. See pic below,#1 is the obvious one and then #2 that all KJ's have regardless of year that also needs to be extended.

Might be but the 3 '06 KJ's I've put lifts on have had 2 rear brake lines.#2 is tucked up under and on the inside of the unibody "rail" and kinda hard to see,should look like the pic below.
