    I posted in the WTB but I am wondering if there is another way to extend the lines with a 4 inch lift? Can I reroute the hard lines?

    Speedwaymotors.com has lots of universal parts, hotrod parts work good.
    I used AN- fittings, adapters, and braided steel flex line to replace the rotted rubber on my flatty and extend lines on a lifted Blazer.

    The net is a little hard to brainstorm with, find a catalog with pictures in one place, it will come together much easier.

    I bought a longer braided set for my 75 CJ from Quadratech.. It was like ~$50 for the front and ~$25 for the rear..

    I'm having the same issue. I checked local parts stores with no luck. Now on my way to a custom shop. I'm guessing I need around 19" lines. If anyone knows what length I should be looking please chime in.

    I use the Goodridge lines from 4wd.com. They are quality and plenty long for a 4 inch lift. Otherwise, you can bend the steel line and lower the mounting of the line bracket in the wheel well a bit. My rubber ones were cracked, so I just bought new ones.

    I believe the Goodridge lines are 4 inches longer than stock length.

    A good auto parts store should be able to find you a longer hose with the same connections or ones that you can adapt.
