brake lines that work for 4.5" lift on xj
I know that I have read that tj lines and chevy lines work, is that the only ones or is there more and also is it the flexible lines or hard lines that you change out, I am thinking that it is the flex lines but want to make sure ? any help would be appreciated. I will post pics of build as I am doing it this christmas weekend.

Since the axle is further from the body you’ll need extended soft lines.
The way I prefer to do it (although in my case it’s been on LOWERED cars rather than lifted) is to take the OE hose to a hydraulics shop and have them make up a new one from scratch to my measurements.

for the front...i unbolted the bracket from the body....straightened out the hard line and remounted the bracket lower. works great.
for the rrear i got a YJ rubber brake line from the body to the junction block. also works great.
