just go measure your stock XJ line and add 3-5", if i recall YJ lines are roughly that much longer and i cant even come close to tightening the line at full flex with no sway bars at 4.5"

The extended line I have for my XJ are designed for 6.5" of lift so with me staying at 3.5" i doubt I'll ever have a line that gets too tight !

The stainless ones I got from IRO offroad are 27" long. Gives plenty of slack to flex out the front. I think the stock are 16" or 17" if I remember right.
