So i had a 3.5 inch lift and i just recently installed a bigger lift and now it is 5.5. I believe that i need new brake lines due to the higher lift. Do i need them for the front and rear? And i have heard of people going to the junk yard and getting brake lines off of a wrangler. DO you take the front or rear brakelines off the wranglers? And does it have to be a TJ or can it be a YJ too?

Thanks,
Zach

YJs are 3in longer .I went with a 96 DAkota 4x4 rear hose,they are 6in longer and are a direct bolt on.

i used the wrangler lines on my 5" lift. rear soft line to axle and front soft lines to calipers. they were like 15 bucks each or 20 bucks

Okay so on wronglers the lines are at least 3 inches longer and a 95 yj they are 6 inches longer and a 96 dakotas they are 6 inch longer. I think ill try to get some off a dakota first. Thanks everyone

what if i was to just relocate my front lines. By bending the hard line straight and remounting the bracket? Would it be enough for a 5.5 lift?

That's ^ what I did at 4.5 inches and mine aren't long enough. I would get longer lines imo
