front brake hose + 6" lift ?

I am in the middle of installing my 6" lift in my 72 K20, and i am wondering if anyone knows of a stock application brake hose to use on the front, instead of usual long braided ones that i have seen advertised?

FYI: a braided line gives better brake feel than a rubber line due to having no swell when braking like a rubber hose does.

Your better off using a longer braided line IMO.

Using Raybestos BH36759 & BH36760 for my K20s with a 4" lift. Might see if they work on a 6"? They are stock looking hoses not braided though.
