I’m toying with the idea of quick discos (or just disconnecting my current sway bars when wheeling), but I’m concerned about my brake line length. I have a 4.5” lift, and the image is my current brake line(s).

Do you think these would be ok with my current lines when the sway bars are disconnected, or do these need to be extended?

As long as your brake lines are the correct length for your 4.5" lift, disconnecting the sway bar will not require any change.

The lift was installed prior to my purchase of the Jeep, but I would assume that the length of the current brake lines is the proper length for my lift. Not sure if there is a way to tell or not. I have wheeled plenty of times with the current set up, but never with my sway bars disconnected.

Hang the axle by the shocks and turn the steering both ways to full lock.

You will quickly learn if the brake hoses are long enough. And you will learn if the be sway bar links are long enough.
