Braided Stainless Steel Protection For Lifted TJ Braking Systems
The Skyjacker RBL98 is a rear stainless steel braided brake hose engineered for 1997-2006 Jeep Wrangler TJ models running a lift of 4 to 8 inches. When a TJ is lifted, factory rubber brake hoses can stretch dangerously close to their limit or restrict suspension travel. The RBL98 replaces the factory line with a longer, more durable stainless steel braided hose that flexes safely through the extended range of motion of a lifted suspension. Skyjacker builds the RBL98 with a heavy duty offroad brass fitting and a protective outer extruded polyurethane coating that resists abrasion from rocks, sand, and road debris. Every RBL98 is DOT certified and European T.U.V. approved, keeping it street legal in all 50 states while providing the reliability needed for trail use.
