You can get pre-bent lines with the correct coiled guards around the lines from Midwest Military. That's where I got mine from. I think it was something like $200 for the set, but worth it to keep the frustration down.
If you end up doing it yourself I'd recommend getting lengths of pre-flared...
While you're replacing the fronts you might as well do the back lines as well. Don't worry, this is a simple job. It took me an afternoon of crawling around on my back. I'm 6'0" and I can sit under the bed of the truck without putting it on jacks which helps when you're working back there.
