chevy/gmc 1500 2wd v8 models have a brake line that is 7" longer than the stock lines. That is what i use. They are cheaper than S.S. lines. and every auto parts store has them

as far as actual length. Take the from shocks off and cycle the suspension to its limits. Worst case scenario, you blow a shock out and then you dont want the brake lines being a limiting strap. (this mainly applies to short arms)(with long arms you only want to go 2" longer than your shocks extend)

No i can not remember off the top of my head and it is to dark to go measure....I can get a measurement in the morning. But every jeep is different So i suggest you measure your own. But i will grab mine in the morning
