These Dorman hoses were suggested to me by our resident brake expert:

I've had good luck with these lines from Crown Performance. Made in the USA!

I bought the Dorman 4" longer brake lines. They are exactly like stock, but longer. Don't worry about the rear unless you are moving the wheelbase. Longer rear brake lines are not needed or wanted.
I don't understand the question.
The linked extended length brake hoses are front left, front right, and center rear, typically marketed for lifted jeeps that require longer brake lines than stock.
With a 3" lift you may or may not even need extended brake lines. If you do, the linked Dorman brake lines should work.

"He" provided me with all of the linked part numbers. He doesn't generally recommend longer brake lines at the rear wheel cylinders because there is no reason for them, but a longer rear center brake line may be necessary hence the link to one.
"He" "The Wizard" "practicer of black magic" this gets better all the time. Maybe I should @ Blaine just so he gets a laugh.
Though on a serious note, YJ lines or extended rubber lines, most people only need front, cause it does all the flexing. don't fall for all the Stainless BS, no real benefit and they are generally less sturdy than stock rubber lines in the long haul.

I did but not because it is needed for a lift but because I see folks asking where to get a rear brake line that is secured with the vent bolt pretty often on here. There are plenty on Rock Auto and similar but that seems to escape most.
I should have sent him the link to the extend flex hoses they make for a 4" lift that go from the caliper to the end of the hard line on the rear axle. That pair is just awesome beyond words.
So awesome that I still remember your description of the intelligence level of the individuals who buy them.
Build, not buy. The folks that buy may or may not know that the relationship between the caliper and hardline doesn't change when you lift the rig. The folks that build them absolutely should know that little fact.
