Default Extended brake line on 4.5 Rough Country Lift?

I installed the extended brake line clamp that was installed with my Rough Country 4.5' lift. It looks like about 3 inches or maybe a bit more.
It seems like there is no possible way that there is ample room when flexed. Has anyone ran into this. Do you feel that a brake line extension is mandatory?
I'm running the recommended set up as far as wheels and tires that the kit states. 32's

Ya might be alright in the front, depends how far ya relocated em. But your rear is still stock length? I was running 4" with stock tires and i flexed too much in the rear and ended up cracking my rear line. Id recommend getting extended brake lines or ya can always do a junkyard pull if ya cant afford $100 on new lines. some people are against running used lines, just make sure ya thoroughly check em over.

When my MJ had a 4.5" RC lift, I put stock YJ lines on the front, it worked great. I never even tried the relocation brackets they sent with the lift.
