I am putting a 3.5" rough country lift on my 98 XJ. I was wondering if there were any stock brake lines for another vehicle with the same ends that were longer?

I've got wrangler lines on my XJ and they are plenty long enough.
Wrangler lines are a pretty common mod.
IIRC, I went to the parts counter and asked for 95 Wrasngler front brake hoses.

I used the YJ lines for three years until a recent project made them too short for my Jeep. I have a table made http://www.grobe.us./Jeep/Tech/Drivetrain/Brakes/rubberhose/ExtendedBrakeHoses.htm that says the YJ lines are only 2.5" longer than stock Cherokee.
Oddly enough they worked fine on my 4" lift with long arms. Another thing that you can try is moving the hard line further down the frame. You can gain an inch or two that way, although I haven't ever done so myself.
Ultimately the YJ lines are a good choice for your size lift.

I should have pointed out the hard line relocation. Thanks for mentioning that.
I have done that with the YJ lines and it works great for me at 5 1/2".

No problem Haleyes. I usually don't mention it because most vehicles have rubber hoses that probably could use to be replaced. And/or fluid that could use a good flush so IMO it is best to plan on a longer set of hoses first.

Here you go. GM truck lines are the way to go look at this thread to get part numbers and information http://www.naxja.org/forum/showthread.php?t=70205

i used the gm truck lines for 6.5 inches of lift and they are more than long enough. i can unseat a coil before the hoses are even close to being tight. but if your only at 3.5 i would go with the yj lines. should be perfect for your lift.
