Default ABS extention after lift

I Just put on a Rough Country 3.5" lift on my 08 Unlimited Sahara. I am concerned about the ABS cable being stretched during flex. I lifted the frame off the ground with the sway bar connected to check if the ABS cable was long enough before I drove it, and it seems to be strained even wiht all of the retainer clips disconnected. Does anyone have a home solution or is there a product that I can use to fix this?

Default NO one knows?

I know I'm not the first one to have this problem. Doesn't anyone have an idea?

I was able to spay some WD40 and pull enough slack through to make it work. I was able to get enough to match my 4" extended break lines so you should be able to do the same. If that's not enough I have heard that people cut and solder in extensions.
