Question Brake lines?

I'm lifting my 79 Bronco 6" and I was wondering what all I need.

I'm thinking about 7" extended brake lines up front, but do I have to put any lines out back?

Any comments are appreciated, also what have ya'll put on your own truck(combinations of line combos).

Not completely certain about the earlier models but I know the later models require extending the two front lines AND the rear flexible line from the frame to the axle housing. I should think this would be the same scenario for your 79 as well.

I went up 4" and extended the lines 6" just for a bit more s-t-r-e-t-c-h at full drop.

There are 2 rear flexable lines from the frame to the axle if I remember correctally, but I'm not 100% sure.
Thanks for the info grey, so 7" should be ok for the front, and I need extended lines for the rear to right?
Any companys better than others?
