Looking ahead, I am thinking about replacing all my brake lines this fall/winter. Some look to be fairly rusted and I'd like to replace them before they blow out.
Has anyone here replaced theirs with the pre-bent kits? What problems could I expect? The only one that seems like it will be a PITA is the front passenger side. I know all the plastic clips are going to crumble as soon as I touch them, just my luck. Are there replacements available for these?
Sorry about all the questions, but just want to know what I'm getting into before I start.
 
I can comment much on this, but why not just run the YJ brake lines since they are extended and very cheap.

Just don't buy into the stainless braided steel lines. Those things are a complete marketing scam. Even @mrblaine has mentioned this before.
 
Crown Automotive offers OEM replacements that are pre-bent. Im sure they can be found cheaper on Amazon possibly

For the passenger front specifically.

Thanks for the replies, but I am really referring to the "hard" brake lines from the master cylinder down to the flexible lines. I will be replacing the flexible ones as well.

I do use the same line kit from Morris 4x4. Probably cheaper. Clips are also avilable but expensive. 5$ piece.
Front passenger is not that bad, removed the stabilizer bar cover and bent as need. Took me 4 hrs on get it done, taking care of deatails.
Good luck, this are a nive TJ mod!

I need to do my rear axle hard lines too. Ive got an 01. I'll check and see if Savvy has a replacement for mine as well. All my other lines have been replaced as of 2 years.
