Try stock YJ lines, I believe they are 4" longer than XJ ones.

NAPA PART NUMBERS:

FRONT GM LINES
38620
38621

1996 4x4 Dakota center rear brake line
38636[/quote]

I know I'm resurrecting an old thread here, but I found it very helpful. I decided to use my resources to provide a list of part #'s for the GM lines that are spoken of above. They are 25.125" long and are a good replacement for too short stock lines.

NAPA----------38620/38621
Bendix---------77760/77761
Carquest------SP8439/SP8440
Dorman--------H38620/H38621
EIS--------------SP8439/SP8440
Mighty----------77760/77761
Pep Boys-----BH8620T/BH38621T
Wagner--------BH116846/BH116847

I hope this helps someone else!

So, I can verify that the GM brake lines work great. Just picked up a set at NAPA and installed them. I am on a 3 inch lift right now and if anything they are too long. I forgot to measure the stock but I would say they are a good 4-5 inches longer. Deffinetley plenty of length and it is a bolt on affair. Only a tiny modification needed. You have to slightly pry open the mounting bracket and slide it to the top of the line. I am happpy I chose this over SS braided or the YJ lines. I really did not like the way the YJ's had that huge hard pipe sticking out. The GM's hard pipes on the caliper end are only slightly longer then stock yet seem a little thicker.

I will post some 's if I ever get my lazy arse around to it..
