Ive just had mine done with the lift i got and i "think" its anything over 3 inches But if in doubt give Suburban a call in Sydney and ask them about their Rubicon brake line sets and they will point you in the right direction .

just did a 3" lift on mine and the rear line was starting to get tight so i ordered a front and rear set from suburban...i think the fronts can be relocated at this height but didnt wanna mess with it so went longer to be safe...i know the rear would have snapped at full suspension travel

I don't know anything much about break line (I know you're surprised) but can't you just get a longer bit of hose stuff and stick it on instead of the old bit? I thought it was just that bit of hose down by the front wheel that I can see inside the wheel arch (I presume it looks similar at the back but haven't looked).

Try some garden hose that will work fine!

I needed one at 4" but didnt get it and now Im at 6.5" I definetly need it. The extended brake line came with the rusty"s kit (yes some one other than RE does lift kits..................... surprise, surprise)
I got mine from Wooders Garage !!!!!!!!!!! http://www.wooders.com.au/About%20Us.htm
