Shouldn't need longer ones until 4". just jack up the frame after you get the lift on and see if it has any slack in it.

I've got a RC 4.5" lift on my xj and in running with the RC brake line re-location/extension brackets. And at full flex with no sway bars my lines still have a little play. You'll be fine with just the RC brackets.

I did a RC 4.5" lift and I could drive around town without an issue. The lines were tight and I definitely couldn't wheel with it but I'm guessing you'll be alright. You should be alright enough to do the lift and then see. If you decide you need longer lines you can get front soft lines from a 95 Wrangler and rear soft line from a 96-99 Dakota. Bolt on install and gives you plenty of length.

sweet thanks guys. like i said i dont do any serious off raoding right now but if the time arises i want to be ready. but how much play did everyone have after they put your lifts on? (with stock size brake lines)

i am also putting frame stiffeners, pillar gauges (oil pres. and eng. temp.) and many other things along with the lift. does anyone know where i can get cheaper tires? i think im only going to go 31" or 235 maybe havent decided yet.

Mine at full flex maybe have about 1/2 to move around. I also straightened the bends in the steel line going down to the rubber. I can put up a picture if you'd like? And look at treadwright.com for tires
