I got mine from Independent and they're very well made: Independent4X

I also found the I4X lines to be supurb and easy to install (with no prior brake system experience).
Independent is the way to go - way happy with mine. Waited for three months from an eBay seller (who's still got them listed, by the way) and never received them (did get a refund).

Got mine from I think a retailer named Darlington Offroad Performance or some such, increased brake pedal pressure immediately, worthwhile mod.
Did yall that installed the Indy 4x lines find that there were ~1.5" too long, especially up front?
I noticed that, but am glad that inch & a half was there since the lift.
I think the Independent 4x4 website specifically states that these lines are longer to allow for lifts.Quote:

::crosses fingers::
do u have to buy this to get the 3inch lift, or can u still lift it with out buying the brake lines?
Maybe not TOTALLY "must have" for a lift, but WAY worth the investment for the increased firmness in the pedal.
Why risk a wreck due to over stressed brake lines ?
And yes, I have been in a car wreck due to brake line failure. :(

Tera-Lows
3" BL
3" lift
33" tires
steel brake lines
manual hubs
swaybar disconnects... all from Matt
but I digress. I have had the Amigo lifted for 7 years now. Still have the factory lines. Never did anything to them when I lifted it originally. I am putting on the Indy4x set of lines this week though. My buddy ordered me a set when we did the parts order.
oh ok, it's just i want the lift but can't get the brake lines yet, but just wanted to know if its safe with the stock 1s when i get it lifted. thanks guys.
So, I only have a slight lift, enough to run a 31.5 inch tire. (Torsion bars were cranked to level it) Will I have a problem with these longer lines? And no, I'm not going to be lifting it anymore so sometime in the future isn't a issue.
Shouldn't be a problem, you'll just have a bit more slack.:_wrench:Quote:
