I used earl's lines from summit racing. I go the universal hoses and used adapter fittings for mine.

I believe there's a thread written by David (BC847) in The Sticky about this. I'm sure he documented what products he used.

I don't really like stainless hoses on a 4x4 and after doing some reading I'm not alone. Jeep Brake Lines: Extended Brake Lines for Jeep CJ, YJ, JK

I ran stainless hoses for about two years and the coating was starting to get nicked up and crack on the front outer hoses. I replaced them with the stock rubber lines before they failed.

I still have the stainless center drop lines because I need them for my lift but if they start cracking like the others I will replace them with custom rubber lines.
