Brake Lines

I recently installed the RE 3.5 Super Flex list and would like to replace my OEM tube brake lines with longer braided ones. I am wondering if there are any suggestions on where/what to buy? I am open to thoughts and ideas if there are some out there.

Thanks in advace

Skip the braided brake lines, stick to rubber. Rubber is much more resiliant then the braided and the solution is as close as your local auto parts store. Get all 3 brake hoses for a 95 wrangler without ABS. The rear is a direct bolt in. Relocate the steel lines in the front as low as possible and hook up the rubber YJ hose. It looks like this on the right front wheel:

You will notice that the only difference between that and the stock hose is the longer steel portion on the caliper. Is this enough droop for you? :)

It should have come with them. If not RE has them. More $ and same result as handlebars suggestion.
