Just did the rear/intermediate brake lines recently on the '96 with rear ABS only.
If you want to go the pre-bent route here's the line parts I used from the front junction block... back to the rear wheel cylinders, but check for fitment on your specific model. Both steel and stainless steel are available...about $25 difference in the price.

Fine Lines WIN9602SS; Front to Rear Brake Line Set. $60

Thank you for the links. I was looking into the pre bent lines and was all over the place. I will check fitment out and this will be the way I will go. Much appreciated!

Actually, for the rear, we replaced just about everything, including the shocks.
SS Tubes/Fine Lines sells there products a bit cheaper on Amazon than on their company website. Advance Auto had the rest. I did not have any problem with fittings matching, probably because everything, except the factory original front junction block, which worked with the SS/FL lines, was replaced with new parts.

Here's the complete parts list I used (minus fluid, and misc. brake line clips/brackets), again... check for fitment on your specific model...the build sheet helps with that.

Fine Lines WIN9602SS; Front to Rear Brake Line Set; Stainless Steel, pre bent with fittings.
Fine Lines WRA9401SS; Rear Axle Brake Line Kit (2 pieces); Stainless Steel, pre bent with fittings.
Dorman H38636 Hydraulic Brake Hose

Putting in the orders today. Though I think I may be mistaken on the ABS. Is there an easier way to tell? The master cylinder and ABS module under the hood maybe?

Look at your front hubs. If you have wires going to them, you have 4wal.

Here's the link to obtain a "Build Sheet" for your truck. Have your VIN handy.
Very responsive...usually good at getting back to you in a day.

http://www.dodge.com/webselfservice/...mailpage.html?

My Build Sheet has this code/entry for ABS:
"BGJS Pwr Disc/Drum Rr Anti-Lock Brakes"

Your local dealer may have "instant?" online access to this info too.
