After some trial and error, I found that extended brake lines listed to fit 4" lifted '74-'76 drum braked CJ's worked on my '71 J-truck. I first tried the ones listed for the '71 and earlier, but the fitting at the hard line (female part) was to big. These are made by Goodrich and are stainless steel braided. At full flex with my three inch lift, there was still plenty, but not too much, slack left in the line. I cannot confirm that these will work with all earlier FSJ's with 11X2 self adjusting brakes but would assume they would. They definetely helped firm up the brake pedal and the responsiveness of the front drum brakes.
