I got napa brand rubber brake hoses. You get them for a 95 chev 3500 srw 2wd with a 6.5td. They are plenty long and bolt into the factory location. You just need to cut the bracket off in the middle of the hose. Just put the left side on the left side of your rig and vise versa.
ORD are very nice if you don't mind the shipping the couple of day shipping wait.

If you have a hydraulic hose company near you, they should be able to make them in any length you want, possibly in stainless steel too. Otherwise My vote goes for ORD
ORD...they,ll take care of everything you need /need to know

I just got my second set from ORD. The first set was measured for a 4" lift, but now I have a 7" lift and needed the extra length. Fast shipping too.

Just installed
I recently bought a pair of pro-comp 4" extended steel braided brake lines from 4 wheel parts. Paid $105 + tax. I have a 72 Jimmy and it was extremely difficult to remove the steel brake line from the old rubber lines because mine is set in the frame. Yours will be much easier to get to. Later models like yours have a bracket which sticks out a few inches from the frame. All my bolts seemed to require penetrating oil and a little torch action. I would be surprised if yours didn't. My brake lines came with all the hardware and were simple enough to install. The rear line i replaced with a stock rubber hose and it also required the torch to remove. I wish I spent a little extra and got the extended line in the rear but the fronts were really maxed out and concerned me the most. Also invest in or borrow a flare nut wrench for the steel brake lines. You have to remove the steel brake line from the back of that bracket and only then should you remove the hardware that holds the rubber line. I didn't really know what I was doing and ended up snapping my steel brake line.

I got pro comps as well. No complaints, sure makes the pedal nice and firm compared to rubber lines.
