Longer brake lines?

Longer brake lines?
Anyone ever get any other longer brake lines to work on their truck? I need lines that are longer, ever since I cranked my bars a little to level out my truck when I turn full lock or close to it I can feel that I loose pressure. I was thinking maybe someone got brake lines off a fullsize to work or something. I don't want to spend a bunch of money to have them custom made, I've had similar stuff made before and it was always $$$.

These work: Ford Bronco II, Ranger brakes, stainless steel hoses, emergency brake cables, Warn hub
I'm using them for my Superlift suspension lift. They are well worth the money.

When I have money someday, I plan on running stainless lines with the flare and banjo adaptor fittings on 'em. Should only be about $50 in the end. I need to do something because my lines are just danglin'. Cory's got 30" lines on his '07, lol. Dangerranger01 should be posting in this thread.
Korey...you really don't want to run something like that from a junkyard, espicially on the front. New rubber lines are only about $10-15 or so per side. I suggest you unbolt the bracket on the side of the frame, bend the hardline down some, and see if the problem continues.

Seriously? junkyard lines up front? really?
I got new SS brake lines at all four corner on my truck plus the frame to axle one. They aren't too expensive. There was a local place that has them premade, and DOT approved, and they were like $25 each. But you need to buy adapters to go from the AN flare on the SS line to the inverted flare on our truck. so total its like $30. Call local 4x4 shops to see where they get longer lines, otherwise, Summit sells Russel lines but i don't like the quality of them.

Yeah I'd run junkyard front lines if they were in decent shape and the right length, they would be fine.
I just unbolted the L brackets and it doesn't do it anymore. Thanks Ftirish, but I just looked on TRS and it looks like the F350 lines in the tech article are wayyyy to long lol. It said like 21" I think? IDK I'll prob wind up just going to napa with a brake line and have them find me two longer rubber ones with the same fittings on each end. Thanks for the help everyone.
