Go to your local auto parts store, and get a 95 wrangler rear line. It will be 3 to 4" longer and a direct swap.

And for the front you can get lines from the same year wrangler and be good, or you can unbolt the hardline and move it down a ways.

If you're just running on the street you can get by without them. Once you start flexing the suspension to the extremes off road you are likely to rip your brake lines off.
