I used YJ hoses front and rear. They are about 3-4" longer and screwed in as the stock ones came off.

Yup. Might have to tweak the steel line from the caliper depending on tire clearance.

I gotta learn to open my eyes when I'm snoozing. Yes, the rear hose will be ducky. I was thinking all the hoses.
