They unscrew. Just climb under there and look at it. You'll see how it comes off. It's the rubber hose coming from the frame rail to the driver's side axle tube. Only one line. Unscrew the hose, replace with longer one. Bleed brakes.

The one on the top is the hardline. Follow that to the middle of the axle tube. You'll see a three way. Unbolt all that and then follow the rubber hose up to the connector and unbolt that. If it's rusted up then spray it with PB Blaster or some sort of penetrating oil.

1. New brake lines
2. T-Case shims
3. you sill might need a new Shaft depends on the vibration you get once its done.
4. shocks

even a budget build can cost... but its far cheaper
