I've heard some wrangler front brake lines will work, and they're a direct changeout.

I run YJ lines, they are a direct bolt-in and are about 3" longer than stock.

I got a set of extended steel braided lines from my local hi-po shop... I think they're a -3 line, maybe -4.

That and very carefully moving your solid line down in the fender some more and you have yourself like 5" or so more to play with

Do you think that if Jeep knew what people were going to use the old XJ's for (I.E. lift and wheel) they would have done a little bit more in the way of brake lines and a better SY?
