So I've looked over the treads and am confused. Anyone have a NAPA part number that will work? Looks like I'll need 4-6" more than the stock hose.
 
38068 worked like a charm, plenty of slack left after the 56" springs max out on down travel. I also extended the 14BFF breather hose while I was at it.
 
Thats the Part that I bought and can confirm that it works with 6 inches of lift over factory. Just changed this out a month ago. Good luck getting the fitting loose at the frame that runs into that though......

No problem there - just used a good 3/8 and 7/16 tube wrench and popped out the retaining clip. The new hose frame fitting end was a bit different so I had to ream the mounting bracket a bit.

Correction, plenty of slack left after the shocks top out. If I get longer shocks the brake hose will then be at risk. Looks like I could use 4" longer rear shock or so and a limiting strap or two to protect the hose from over extension.
