I tried searching but found nothing of use. I put on Rusty's 3in on my 96 XJ. I am extreamly confused as to what to do with the brake lines. There are 3 lines that go from the body to the rearend. One is the actual break line(with fluid) and the other two go to each drum. All info I find says chuck Rusty's el' cheap-o extention and use YJ lines which, I am willing to do that BUT what do I do with the two other ABS power lines. They are streched out alot while flexing. I prefer not to do away with the ABS. Any help is appericiated. TIA

IIRC you can move the mount for these lines down a little bit and free up some movement - not sure on that though.

On my 92 a 3.5" of lift in the back i have no trouble with the ABS lines and stock brake line...

The lines that go to the drums are your parking brake lines. You should be able to move the mount if you need to however, I have ~5" of lift and can't get them anywhere near maxed out.
