Ones that are 4" longer? Sorry I know it is a smart ass answer, but if you have 4 extra inches then would you need 4" extention or 4" longer lines to allow for the travel?

Tire size won't change the brake line length. The lift is where the length takes effect.

In reality "droop" is where the brake line is truly stressed The"lift" requires longer shocks & springs which also lets the differentials droop more that factory...
