Most of the pre-bent lines I have seen are for 2wd trucks. LMC had some for 4x4 but are on back order. I just bought a 25' role of 3/16" steel tubing and made my own for my 72 f250 4x4. I tried a crappy HF double flare tool at first and it caused nothing but problems. I later bought a good tool for the brake lines. If you do decide to make your own, I would recommend a good flare tool and new fittings. Two of my old fittings for the Brake Pressure Differential Valve had me thinking my flares and the valve itself were messed up. I plan on making brake lines for my 70 f250 and my dads 66 f250, so it was worth it. Good luck and Welcome to the forum.

Adding to browski post, I would use nicopper 3/16" brake line. The Stop Shop store on Amazon has everything you need. The nicopper is easy to bend by hand, doesnt kink easily and won't corrode. And the flares are easy on it.
