Brake hoses too short

Brake hoses too short
My brake lines are too short after the 3" of lift from spindles and I can't find any ANYWHERE. I found brake hoses all the way up to a '97 but nowhere near an '05. Will those hoses work or am I going to have to get them made? I've searched for almost 3 days on this site, and the suspension system sites and any random place and I can't find a thing. I need atleast 5 inches extra in hose length and they don't have to be the SS braided. Can someone help me? A specific link would be awesome because some people mentioned camburg, procomp, and all the big names but I never found anything. Maybe I'm just blind.

Yeah, they said it'd be roughly 185 for install. I think that they're just being stubborn and think that I know nothing. I've done everything to my Ranger and my old Chevy myself. I had a master cylinder go out on the old Chev and had to replace that myself and bleeed the brakes. No big issue, just time consuming for me.

heres what i did, just unbolted the bracket from the frame and moved in down a few inches, the hard line will bend/extend with no problem
heres a pic, look at the frame right above the bolt that holds the bracket, you can see the factory hole

About how many inches did you move that bracket down? Do they get tight when turning full-lock? I was thinking about doing that, but then I didn't know if I would be able to move it far enough. My torsion bars are almost all the way loose and I'd like to take it back up to where I had it above stock. Anyways, will that give me enough play?

Piece of cake. Save your money.
