Extended brake lines

When do you need them like how much lift. I am running about 4" of lift and I'm kind of nervous to disco the swaybar and flex it.

I think I'll just buy some steel braided extended lines next month. I found a guy that has complete Clayton sets for $90 shipped.

How long are the YJ lines? I didn't know they would be that cheap. Are the fronts and rears both longer?

the fronts are about 4" longer. don't worry about the rear. It isn't a problem.

Awesome thanks for the advice. I will go pick them up tomorrow and hopefully they will be on this weekend. Time for some flex pics.

If they don't have the yj lines in stock, you can use 1998 (several yrs up and down also) chev 1500 truck brake lines as well. Been running them for a while now, they are like 4 inches longer.
