I just bought 1/4" line to replace part of the main line to the rear, but I have a 99 3500 truck. All I did was put cheap HF calipers on the old line and measure. I'd recommend getting the Copper Nickel line from Advance. I was replacing coated steel line that I bought only 7 years ago...it rusted enough by the fuel filler enough to crack, while doing a fuel pump. The rest looked to be in great shape.

Unless the brake line on the axle looks bad, or you've worked on it lately, I'd leave it. Mine hasn't been touched in years, and I'm not going to touch it until I do the rear brakes. I don't want a line replacement to snowball into a brake job, until I'm ready to do a brake job. When I replaced that hard line, I bled it where it connects to the hose.
