Depends what youll be using the truck for. If you are gonna be offroading and rock crawling then extended radius arms are a must. You can get away without extended arms but you wont get as much articulation.
Your budget really determines what you'll get. But BroncoGraveyard has some great kits available.

4 inch Ultra Deluxe Lift Kit, Black Bushings 1976-79 F150
I say this kit. Might as well do new leaf springs as you don't wanna deal with axle-wrap and be blowing U-joints every other day. (personal nightmare)
You don't sound like you need extended arms, you really don't need the brake lines extended either. I didnt have any issues with my driveshafts and I was lifted about 6-7" so this kit should be all you need except new rubber.

That kit comes with new brake lines. I meant he shouldn't need them as far as clearance wise.
On a side note, I def recommend replacing all the brake lines with the stainless steel kit from inline tube. Broncograveyard has it as well. I think it was about 200. Great quality, I got that on my 78
