when do i extend the rear brake line? ill be at 3.5'' max
I'd just detach from mount and zip tie to parking brake line, it will work fine. Stainless braided extended lines are cool but I found doing this gives me a lot of line slack and if zip tied right, keeps the line out of the way.

That leaves him with a 25 year old brake line. I suggest replacing the soft lines when you lift, even if only for peace of mind. It isn't fun when the hose deteriorates and your caliper locks up on the highway.
Bumpsteer is not a result of any one type of steering, rather it's a result of the draglink and trackbar not being as close to parallel as possible. Like this...
Normally I'd gladly offer a link to my kit, but since you're looking on the lower-end (budget wise), I'll simply tell you that a good steering kit is never cheap, and a cheap steering kit is never good.

I have to agree with you, Frank.
As a reminder, the drag link and track bar need to be as close to parallel as possible when drawing imaginary lines between the two mounting points of each bar. The shape of the bars doesn't actually matter.

This and what frank said. Don't risk detaching, that's jus asking for **** t happen. Get a proper lengthed line. Even just YJ lines etc

Well your kit is within budget (Curries/savvy is $500 and doesn't sound like it would work), the only problem is I am looking for something bolt-on, primarily as I plan to sell my d30 at some point and don't have access to a welder right now. Would your under the knuckle kit work at my height?
So I've been searching around, procrastinating ordering my lift for months...What I gather is that Zone and Rough country are basically equal in every single way? So does it matter which one I go with? The reviews are literally equal everywhere I check...
Zone scores higher because it is suppose to be owned by BDS. I just picked up a Zone 3" AAL kit today. I went with the AAl because the previous owner already lifted the back the 2.5"-3" and the wait for a set of 3" springs was too long for me, I was looking at some time in October for them to arrive and the Zone 3" kit was actually cheaper than the springs and Rugged Ridge shocks. I know the shocks that come with most cheaper lifts are not that great, but even with the Rugged Ridge shocks I was planning on upgrading in the spring any how.
