Default front brake line ?

So not only do I need new front brake lines but i will need Extended Front Brake Lines for the 4.5" lift soon to be upfront. What all do I need? I know I need longer brake lines, duh, but how long? Should I go with stainless steel brake lines or is that not needed? I know rough country sells an extention "kit" (part # 89702) but I feel that I can order the same stuff thats in the kit for cheeper then the kit would be. Thanks

Are you building or buying the lift kit? Most kits come with the proper lines/extensions.

You could always use yj brake lines for the front. They should be long enough for 4-4.5" of lift.

I use fronts off a 95 chevy 2wd on mine. Slide the mounts up the new hoses and the mounts will bolt to the factory locations. I have 8.5 inches of lift and relocated my steel lines about 2 inches lower and used mentioned hoses so they should be good to 6ish inches...
