I'm not finding a lot of info as to what to do with the brake lines on the WJ swap. my stock lines bolt in I I flip them, but then they're essentially going 90 out from the knuckle.

I looked at YJ lines but the same issue is there. I don't think that will work great. Should I just get some stainless lines online and call it a day?

I have some yj lines i will send you for the price of shipping though if you want them. I had them on mine when i got new axles, and just decided to go with stainless.

I was thinking about stainless but all the ones I see online are for a 4in lift, will that be too much extra line?

No lift. I was able to reuse the stock lines by bending them a bit. When I get my lift i will install extended lines.

YJ lines worked great for my 3.5 inch lift.
