Default Extending the Brakelines?

so last week i had my rig up on a lift to do a little welding and i became concerned about the stretch on my rear brakelines.

my questions are:

1. How easy is it to do this job, as easy as just bleeding them

2. is there anything or any brand that anyone would like to recommend i get or stay away from?

i would suggest getting a couple extra bleeder screws. I haven't done this on a jk, but on my zj they were brass and they have a tendency to round off.

Invest in (I think an 11mm) flare nut wrench.

Northern Tool sells a set of 10 crows feet (flair nut) ratchet ends (10-19mm) for $16. Tough to beat that.
