Extended cj brake lines

I'm sure someone here has looked this up, so I can piggy back on their knowledge.
I need extended brake lines for my CJ, what parts for another vehicle at the parts store fit? I have 4" springs.

I am 99% sure that if you ask the parts guy for a ford F350 off a newer truck they fit. I beleive thats what I have on my CJ now.

Dont know how the brake lines on CJ's are routed but on my YJ frame I relocated the hard line to flex connection to beneath the frame from top of the frame and it gave me an extra 3 inches I think

mine go through the frame to a bolt on tab. Looks like I can do the same thing.
The lines on it now are long enough, but i need to do some brake work. And if I'm doing it once, id like to replace every component.

I stole John's idea and ran a single rubber line from the frame down to the axle and T'd it off at the axle. Ran hard lines to the C's then just a short loop out to the calipers. I could never seem to get the old setup with long lines to not rub on the tires.

When I did y single front line, I just used a 4" extended rear line I had hanging around. If your not going to drive on the streets, just run directly off the master, if you are going to drive on the street and need the front bias, a prop valve from a 98 5.9l ZJ with one of the front out puts blocked off will work, also a mid-late 90's dodge, I think 2500, maybe 3500 used a similar set up stock.

I just added a single line prop valve to the rear to dial some brake out, the front is direct off the master. Prop valve was like $50.
