Default 2005 Jimmy Hydraulic brake lines

First thing I'd like to do for my Jimmy is replace ALL my corroded brake lines. Founds lots of diagrams and links here so i'm pretty confident about this so far.
The one thing I could not find listed anywhere is the length of brake line I need for each section. not very comfortable with doing my own double flaring.

this will likely break down (no pun intended) into me removing all my lines and measuring them.

Also wondering if anyone has any pros/cons regarding Poly Armour lines? This is what I'd like to use due to harsh Canadian winters, road salt, and playing in the mud too.

Thanks everyone!

I should elaborate a bit since my request was a bit vague.

what is the length of the hydraulic lines required, Not looking for a pre- bent kit. The Poly Armour lines come in pre-flared finished lenthts from 8" to 80". it also comes in 25 ft coils, but as mentioned before, double flares are not my forte.

wondering how much I need for all lines to be replaced.

Hey Billy,

thanks for the link, but not looking to go for stainless steel. 2-3 Canadian winters and I'd be replacing them once again

Found out that 108 inches should be enough to do the whole thing, 2 pre flared 60" pieces was more than enough.

Had an actual mechanic do the work for me, since...yeah, its a truck and I'm still learning.
