Default Rear Brake Lines

I have a 3 inch lift on my XJ. It's a 93 with ABS. I know about using a longer YJ hose between the frame hard mount and the axle hard mount but, my concern is the two other lines that are on either side of the stock hose. I believe those are the ABS lines. What can I do to extend those? Any suggestions? Thanks. I will try to get a picture on here.

Seriously, get braided brake lines.

As far as the ABS goes, I can't help you there. I was blessed with a non ABS XJ so i've never had to deal with that.
