i am going to lift my x 4 inches next weekend and today i put extended steel braded brakelines on the front and i was wondering

if you guys keep the line going through the coil bucket or not, and those wires or wire that run along the line thats for my ABS right? and should i lengthen them or take all that out Ive looked at alot of newer trucks that dont have that do they remove their ABS

and the lines seem a little long they are only about 5 inches longer than stock but now that they are on the car they seem 20 feet long! should i wait till i lift it then re-route them

and if i relocate the lines to the other side of the bucket do i need to change that solid line on top
 






please respond even if its dumb
 






As long as the ABS lines are long enough, leave them alone. If they are too short, try rerouting them to see if you can get any extra length out of them, since they can't be extended. As for your new stainless lines, I'd leave them mounted in their origional location, and zip tie them to the ABS wire.
