Hi guys.
yesterday i finally decided to do my body lift on my jimny. 3 inch lift to go with the 2 inch lift i already had on the suspension. Todays job was tacking the brake likes but i am confused….
Thenkit came with three lines. One is quite clearing left front as it has the bracket part way down, I'm presuming therefore the other is front right, but the. There is one further hose which has matching ends which i cant for the life of me work out where it goes. I also notice then under the car where there are two other hoses are under a lot of strain and some digging i found that lambert do a kit for this which i will be purchasing as i believe its pulled the bolt out of the bulk head slightly :(
anyway if anyone can tell me where this extra hose goes with two of the same flare ends on i would be most grateful

Not sure but I think there are differences between model years here. So might well be it is for the other ones?

From memory of my 2011 most kits with 3 lines are for pre 2013 where it's one for each front wheel and a single for the back axle. That said I seem to think that there is another flexible line from the engine bulkhead to the chassis for the rear which is quite short and on a body lift will need looking at.
