YJ lines will get you 4". If you are doing a 5" lift, they should be good. About $60 for all three.

Chevy lines work also. Think they are maybe 6" longer than stock.

I've heard you have to mod something for them to work, can anyone confirm that?

From what I've read in a few different places they where bolt on. I bought some at autozone but the length didn't look any longer than my stock lines. I ended up using some from a dodge van for the front and they are hella long....can't remember what year... I bought em from a member on here..lemme look back in my pm's and see.

I dont know how much Iron Rock Offroad charges for theirs if you buy them alone but the are steel braided/rubber coated and work great! Being as everything else they offer is cheaper than everyone else, might be worth giving them a call.

I could confirm that I didn't have to mod anything. The lines were 6 inches longer. I don't remember which year 1500 Chevy they were for. It was early 90s but I don't know exactly.
