Reviews for Crown Performance Products 5 Layer Custom Brake Lines for 11-18 Jeep Wrangler JK with 0" Lift

Installed on '15 JK Unlimited Sahara. These stainless braided flexible brake lines appear to be well made. They give a somewhat firmer pedal feel compared to 4+ year old OE lines. Had these on my '92 YJ and they gave great service.

Very high quality lines. 2 problems. 1: I have the Big Brake conversion with Dodge brakes, Lines don't fit where they are supposed to in front of the shock. Bought the Teraflex relocation kit, cut off the metal bracket. Not a design flaw, my problem. 2. The bracket the holds the top of the brake line is not compatible with the stock (2015) bracket and you must drill a hole and self tap a screw. Hint: if you must leave a brake line off because you had to run to the Auto store, keep the cap on the brake M/C and you wont lose much fluid. Once the job was done, HUGE improvement in brake pedal feel - no more mushy pedal - thank goodness. Yes, I would still recommend this product, good price and excellent lines.

So far so good. A lot better than ODM

Not bad, and maybe a 3-star is not fair given I knew coming in that I was not buying an exact replacement for my specific model Jeep. The challenge with things like this that they span 8 years and various models of Jeep and thus they are not an exact fit. I have a 2013 4-door Wrangler and the rear lines in particular are a lot longer than they need be and I now need to keep an eye on them to make sure they are not rubbing.

The mounting to frame bracket tabs of these lines should line up with the OEM mount-to-frame positions. How absolute hard is it to measure and match that for OEM replacement lines?
So in order for these to fit, especially the driver side front wheel(most off in this distance, as little available slack to find right under brake reservoir) So you’ll either need to 1) buy “extendable mounting brackets”—even with 0” lift, & still may need to even mod those brackets(don’t know did not use these “yet”, may go back and install one to that driver wheel so OEM line not stressed)or 2) carefully grab some slack from theJeep brake line coming to that wheel, moving(“sliding” within the attaching frame clip) them so you’ll be able to line up the frame mounting tab of these stainless steel brake lines (IMO cheaply made) to the proper mount-2-frame bolt/nut. They were otherwise not too bad to install, little tricks here & there, but most time extinguished from line tabs after attaching to the brake lines not close to reaching the frame mounting nut area. One will have more than enough length available of SS brake line to caliper.
No included directions—find a good YouTube to watch or Quadratech install, as the manufacturer must not know either or would have included so directions.
I don’t recommend Crown keep looking.

Overall, I’m sorry to say, buying this brake line, and buying it from Quadratec was a mistake. The part was slow to arrive and it does not have a good fit. Quadratec promises it “may take up to 2 weeks for delivery;” in our case it took closer to double that time. The line came with no instructions. Unfortunate because the included upper bracket for the front brakes on our 2016 JK does not even come close to aligning with the metal tubing it is supposed to attach to – that leaves the line hanging in space with no support (Crown, after the fact, says to drill a new hole in the frame, something likely to cause even more problems for a shade tree mechanic like myself). Furthermore, the OEM line includes holders to attach the wheel sensor cable to the brake line – this replacement cable does not, so expect more problems there. Because of these poor fit issues I’m afraid to install the rear lines so they sit in the box unused. I can’t say whether this product will fit your Jeep better (and you may be more skilled at this than us), but in our case, it was an all-around mistake replete with bad fit and bad service (no one cared that the part does not fit and they gave a canned reply to the slow delivery).
