Default Longer front brake lines REQUIRED for 3" lift?

I just recently lifted my jeep 3", and right before that I had installed new front brake lines. I wasn't expecting to lift it this soon. I really don't want to change the lines again because I caught hell changing them the first time because they were seized up and ended up having to use vice grips to break them loose. How much flex can be achieved without extended lines, and doing the relocation? I'm scared to try to straighten them out, because from all the hell I've caught with this thing knowing my luck they would probably break on me when I tried to bend them. I did notice when I was doing the front springs I could get the full droop with stock lca's, and disconnected track bar that they wasn't pulled tight.
