Warn Hubs and vacuum?

Well i've had the warn hubs installed on my truck for about a year now and just today realized i didn't do anything with the old vacuum lines that are on there. i don't plan on ever going back to the vacuum operated style hub so what is the best thing to do with the lines?

I've got Warn hubs on mine as well. I removed the line & capped the fitting where the line attached. Follow the vacuum line from the end where it connected to the top of the steering knuckle - you should come to an in-line nipple in the fenderwell. Remove the line between that nipple & the knuckle & then put a vacuum line cap on the nipple. You can get little the rubber caps for capping vacuum lines at any auto parts store for a buck or two. They come in several sizes, so just make sure you get the right size. You could also cap the lines near further up, but it's probably not worth the trouble. it probably would not be a bad idea to put a cap on the metal nipple on the steering knuckle to prevent dirt, water, etc. from getting into knuckle.
