Default Stock Brake line question for 1989 XJ Pioneer

Hi all i have tried looking all over the net for an answer but i can only find info on lifted versions.
What is the Length of the stock Rear Brake line? Not the hose but the hard line that runs to it from the front (master cylinder reservoir?) As my jeep is not lifted and i need to know the length because it rotted out and i need to replace it. My jeep is a stock 1989 4 Door Cherokee Pioneer with the Renix L6 and AW4 Transmission

Won't matter wether it's lifted or not. The extension comes from the flexible section that attaches to it, and runs back to the axle where it splits to both sides with hard line again. If you are rolling your own, just pull it out and measure it against your new line. Pull it towards the front, easier. If your just buying one, check your local parts store for a replacement or try ebay. I used Inline Tube, they will have it for sure !

Tried my local O'Reilly's but they needed to know the length of it and i didn't know i thought maybe 12 feet but im thinking it might be longer as i know the 6 foot they had was too short.

Measure it? Use string? Buy a preformed one where Mr. Lambert suggested?

Don't waste your money on steel lines. Use copper/nickel lines. Much easier to work with and never rust.
