There's a vendor here with username "AOR" who sells a stainless steel brake line kit for 4-6" for about $110 shipped I believe. I'd start there

The rear hose from a YJ works perfect. I got mine from Morris Jeep cheap and it was Raybestos, made in the USA not offshore junk.

I installed these in the rear and they've worked well so far. Haven't done the fronts yet. There was plenty of slack on my 3" lift, but talk to Frank if you want to be sure it'll work for 5".
