I am not sure about pre-bent lines being available or not.

For a 93 the answer is 100% not to get them from a junk yard. Think about the condition of your lines. The stuff on a 93 in the junk yard isn't going to be any newer.

Line flaring/bending is not that difficult, I just make my own for a fraction of what you would spend on pre-bent. A set of pre-bent lines for an F150 runs about $150. I can buy a 25 foot roll or ni-copp line for about $25, bend up and flare all the lines for my truck, and have some left over. You an even buy that coil stuff that is over the factory lines now.

I just like the way the original Factory lines have that wire around them oh well Actually it's a 94 I'm selling the 93 the steel lines to the wheels have been replaced the chassis lines are still there with the rabs valve of course. Taking a break, between getting my canoe ready for spring, and working on the truck I'm exhausted LOL

The cost doubles when I look at amazon.ca. Sometimes it sucks to be in Canada.

It's that good old communist medicine you have up there. Makes everything more expensive.
