Only if you want them to stay connected when you flex out...(i.e. yes).

search for YJ lines (front) and Dakota line (rear)

What about lines that are longer than the YJ lines?
I know I can pull mine out if I really flex it even with extended lines, which is one of the reasons why I run limiting straps in the front but what about when I add more lift and lengthen the straps?

i have a 91 limited, with a 4.5" rough country and i didnt do anything to the brake lines and i flexed it out until my 31 mud terrains were bending my wheel wells and nothin bad happened except my sway bar broke.

so should i replace the front and rear brake lines? And is it bad to just use extentions?

"Getting" a 3-4" lift? Most of them have longer lines by about that height anyway unless you're piecing together a frankenlift...

I'm at about 4" of lift and I just unbolted the front hard lines in the wheelwell and straightened them out and drilled new holes. YJ lines in the rear.
