Brake lines with SOA and shackle flip

OK. Got all my duckies in a row for my shackle flip and SOA. Will be adding shocks when I get it all done, and probably after coming back from Disney OK in a couple of weeks. I am however pretty sure I need a solution for the brakelines. So my question is this: Is there a stock application brake line, say for a full size truck or the like, that is longer than the stock FSJ lines and will fit?
I dont have the coin right now for SS lines.
Any one have any idea on cost for having standard rubber lines made at a hydraulic shop? Would that be cheaper?
I would rather avoid having to replumb too much, hard lines etc, so I am looking for an easier solution.
Thanks,
Adam G

Rig is a 1981 FSJ Cherokee, v-8, D44 front, AMC 20 rear. Running 37" claws.

I originally bought the extended lines from BJ's. Never used them, but they are cheaper than having lines made. I just spent almost $200 having new brake lines made for the wag build.

My vote is for BJ's lines. They are fairly priced and are very nice...

If you don't have the coin for SS lines, you can use stock Chevy truck front brake hoses. I used some from a '77 K10. They're the same as FSJ hoses, only longer. They work great
I had one rear SS line from a CJ project and made a drop bracket to extend it enough to work.
