S.S. brake lines and Shock length

[XJguy]

Doing the brake line swap shortly, using all the OEM equipment (calipers and drums), what are the the sizes af the fittings I need to replace all three hoses with braided S.S. ?

Also I need some nice and soft shocks for my 6" of lift, which to buy? (brand and size or PN) Right now I have Procomp ES9000s and they are a bit too hard with my homne brew lift. As always thanks in advance.

The Rusty's hydro shocks I got last week for a 6" kit measure 15 3/8" compressed, 25 3/4" extended, PN on the shock body: 650328.

is that front or rear or both? I had the same question.

Got the message Woody, thanks. Are those Rusty's shocks any good? I am a bit weary of Rusty's products from the many bad reports I have read.

That PN is for a rear shock, double eye type.

I wouldn't have bought a second pair of Rusty's Hydros for my XJ if I was unhappy with the set (4) I have on my MJ I'd have got them for the front too, but I bought a set of long travel Rancho 9000s last summer and I am happy with them
