I added some brackets(4-link) to my rear axle(8.25) and had to remove the two hard lines which went from the tee to the calipers. the hard lines won't work now and thought I am capable of bending tubing, I started thinking why not run steel braided hose from the tee to new disk brakes???
 
For pressure reasons,you want the least amount of flex lines as possible!
 
A lot of race cars use steel braided hose for the whole system. It'll work, but you have to use high quality hose and an fittings. The biggest problem is expense. Just get the pre-flared lines and bend them up. You can do both sides in under 30 minutes.

If you linked the rear axle, how about running a real short flex line from the center section to one of your upper links, then run a straight hard line up the link, another short flex line to the chassis?
