Rear Brake Line 76-86 CJ

The Rear Brake Line 76-86 CJ by Skyjacker is a DOT-approved braided stainless steel brake hose assembly engineered for Jeep CJ and Scrambler platforms fitted with suspension lifts up to 2.5 inches. This component addresses a critical compatibility issue: factory brake lines cannot accommodate increased ride height without kinking, restricting fluid flow, or failing under pressure. Whether you've already installed a lift kit or are planning an off-road upgrade, this rear brake line ensures your hydraulic braking system remains safe and reliable at full extension.

Built from braided stainless steel, the Rear Brake Line 76-86 CJ resists corrosion, abrasion, and the flexing cycles inherent to lifted suspensions. The braided construction allows the hose to expand and compress with suspension travel without crimping or internal collapse—a common failure mode in standard rubber brake lines on lifted vehicles. DOT certification confirms that this assembly meets federal safety standards for pressure rating and material integrity, giving operators confidence in consistent brake modulation during both street and trail use. The compact dimensions and 0.35 lb weight ensure minimal installation complexity and no adverse effect on vehicle balance.

Owners of 1976–1986 Jeep CJ-5, CJ-7, and CJ-8 models, as well as 1981–1985 Scrambler users, benefit most from this upgrade immediately after lift installation or as a preventive replacement during existing suspension modifications. Installation requires basic mechanical skills and access to the rear axle and frame routing points; the braided design flexes more easily than factory lines during positioning. This rear brake line kit pairs seamlessly with Skyjacker's front brake line assemblies and other lift-compatible brake components, making it an essential part of any comprehensive suspension upgrade program for classic Jeep platforms.
