What is the line coming off the top of the junction block?
If you pull the line off the top of the junction block you can slide a wrench on and unscrew it and the block will come off the axle. You should get longer brake lines though. A stock yj rear line is good for 3" lift. Breaking a brake line isn't fun, and when you think about it you are increasing the distance from body to axle so shouldn't you increase the length of the brake line going from body to axle?
Do you know what the line on the top of the block is for? It does not feel like a brake line.
Thanks

I don't recall the diameter, but it's nothing special. You can take that piece in with you and tell them you need however many feet of the same diameter hose. You can tell them it isn't pressurized, and it needs to be rated for oil, and it should only set you back a few dollars

No, I don't lick fish.
Hmmm strange. Stock LCAs?
Also correct.... not a bad idea to just go ahead and get a few feet to have in reserve for future lift or other projects like extending the height of all breather lines (front and rear diff, trans case, transmission).

Who are them?
Every time I go to NAPA and ask for something like this they look at me like I'm the dumbest person on earth.
Seriously.
"Do you have viton o-rings?"
I won't even go there anymore.

If an auto parts store can't help you with something as simple as oil resistant non-pressurized hose, you need to take a match to it. This is like a craft store not having ribbon.... seriously you can buy this stuff buy the foot.

A few years ago I also brought a piece of fuel hose into that same store from an 87 bronco. The guy at the counter gave me that same look. Then he said he couldn't do anything without a part number. He also told me he couldn't look it up.
Now I just take measurements and order what I need off of the internet.

Can you guys recommend a ~3" lift that has the best ride quality? Considering going with the Tuff Country ez-ride 3.5" with bilstein 5100s right now
