Default Brakelines

I just ordered some new shocks and my brakelines get very tight when its at full droop. Im sure if i was to turn either way it would rip them out. My new shock is 29 extended so im wondering what size brakelines i need for the front? Would 6 inch lift brakelines work? Because nobody will give me the length of the brakelines. They say they're for certain size lifts

Then those 6 inch ones will work. If you go to the what junkyard parts will fit sticky in the oem section you could find a cheaper way to do it. And if those are not long enough, you may want to get some limiting straps so you don't break your shocks.

Rough Countrys brake lines are relatively cheap and super long for their 6.5" lift.
