Post XJ Brake lines from 5" Lift

My XJ hit puberty. It grew three inches overnight! Started with 2" spacers on stock springs and 2" shackles on flattened stock rear leaf springs and ran that for about 4 months. Then I bought an adjustable track bar, lower and upper control arms, four 6" lift shocks from Skyjacker, ZJ V8 Coil Springs, and new ProComp 3"Lift Leaf Springs (so much better than AAL). The vibes in the cab are actually very minimal but I know I need to do an SYE sooner than later. Biggest concern right now is the brakes. My rear line has no slack. Does anyone know of a good writeup on how to extend brake lines? I'm not at all familiar with bleed processes and steps to be taken to extend the front and rear lines (especially the rear). Any advice is appreciated!

YJ lines are about 3" longer and Dakota lines about 5", both are direct swap.
