brake line issues

Ok so my front brake line has finally starred to crack after 10/12 years. Its the soft line that runs from the porportioninf valve down to the axle housing. Local parts stores can't seam to find anything but a rear line. So here's my question.... Can I run the rear soft main line on the front? Being longer is ok since I've been running a stock one up front & have 8 inchs of lift so yeah its a tight fit so a little extra length is a good thing. Yeah yeah I know I should have got longer lines when I lifted it but that was 13 years ago & I didn't care at the time. Young & dumb.

Why don't you go to a local shop and get some built . You could go stainless while you are at it .
That is what I have done on my oil lines for my trucks and brake lines for my motorcycles .

Is this for the '77 F-150 in your profile? I'm assuming 4WD.
