Which front brake hoses you guys running?

Hey guys Im worried that the stock length brake hoses on my truck are gonna pinch between the A-arms when Im aired out, or turning a sharp corner. I tried to twist them back in a spiral so that they wouldnt pinch, but Im still concerned. My X-member has the little tab thats mounted on the member that secures the hard line to the rubber line. Which hoses are you guys using? Should I try and re-route my hard lines to the front like the later model trucks? Please help. Thanks.

No, I don't remember the length. They used my old brake line to make a new one just like it but 2" shorter, I think.
