Independent is the way to go - way happy with mine. Waited for three months from an eBay seller (who's still got them listed, by the way) and never received them (did get a refund).

Got mine from I think a retailer named Darlington Offroad Performance or some such, increased brake pedal pressure immediately, worthwhile mod.

Did yall that installed the Indy 4x lines find that there were ~1.5" too long, especially up front?
Take care,

Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup.

I noticed that, but am glad that inch & a half was there since the lift.

Longer for lift
I think the Independent 4x4 website specifically states that these lines are longer to allow for lifts.Originally Posted by Locomigo
That's why I got 'em! They fit perfectly with my 3" lift. And they seem to work, because every time I press on the brake pedal, my VX stops. So far.

Maybe not TOTALLY "must have" for a lift, but WAY worth the investment for the increased firmness in the pedal.
Why risk a wreck due to over stressed brake lines ?
And yes, I have been in a car wreck due to brake line failure.

I just added them to my bud's Rodeo this week. Along with everything else that I did for him (He's in Europe, Milan, IT for work and couldnt do it)

but I digress. I have had the Amigo lifted for 7 years now. Still have the factory lines. Never did anything to them when I lifted it originally. I am putting on the Indy4x set of lines this week though. My buddy ordered me a set when we did the parts order.
