Default '01 Suburban stainless brake lines

Hello, I'm new here so I hope I'm posting in the right area. I was just wandering if anyone knows a place online to get pre-bent stainless steel brake lines. I'm looking for a set for the rear axle on my 2001 Suburban. I have been looking online but haven't found anything. I would make them but don't have $300 for the hydraulic flaring tool and I don't see it happening with a regular double flare tool. Any help would be appreciated. I need to replace mine and would like something that not only looks good but last longer as well. I would much rather just buy them and put them on rather then screwing around and making them.

Default brake lines

I have an '01 as well and have considered doing the same. Having limited tools myself and zero experience with this type of job I went to YouTube for some guidance. I apologize in advance for the quality of some of these videos, but there is enough evidence there to prove to me that it is not something to tackle on my own. But at least one video used stainless tubing but I have forgotten where he said that he bought it from. I would recommend checking out YouTube to get that info and an eye-opening if not just down right entertaining experience.

Pre-bent would cost more to store and ship. Just buy and use a tubing bender to protect the tubing at the bends from crimping. There are several styles for these.
