Rubicon Express sells extended braided lines for the front and rear of Jeeps. You can also get them from quadratec and 4wheel drive hardware.
The lines run around $80-100 bucks for front and rear.

there was a post on the old forum about Ford lines bolting up and being longer. I don't think the search works for the older forum post. Anybody remember what it was? Maybe you can relocate the mount at the frame to give you a bit more length to the axle, or just get some new braded ones from Skyjacker, Quadratec, etc. Just keep 'em away from the tires...don't take much to rubbin to wear thru them.

yeah thats wut i was thinking, i would move the bracket down or rotate it or something and then if i have to, i will exted the hard lines that come before it.
i went to O'rileys to see if ford or dodge or any bigger truck had lines w/ the same ends but the guy wouldnt' even look it up for me becuase he said it wouldn't work. all he knows is his computer said they aren't the same part number, i hate stupid people

The title says Dana 44 brake lines, but the same ones I mention will work on a CJ up through '81. Of course you didn't mention what year yours is, so this may be of no help.
