Generally at right around 5" you start running into problems with the lines being too short. I'm at 5.5" right now and am still running stock lines. I've unbolted them from the subframe to get a bit more droop. I know they're too short, but haven't had any problems yet while wheeling with them. That being said, I've got a set of Chevy truck lines that are 4-5 inches longer that are just waiting to be installed.
All this info aside, if you are at 4" or more on long arms, you probably should invest in a set of longer lines pronto. You'll get a bit more flex/droop with LA's and run a much higher risk of popping them than I would.

If they bolt right up like it's been rumored, new lines would be right around $35...Give me some time to get them fitted on there.

I'm new here, but stumbled upon this thread searching for extended brake hoses for my zj, I went to the local parts store and picked up two front hoses from a 92 chevy 1500 2wd and it was almost a direct bolt on part!! Thanks guys!
