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

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?
