Default 08 steel brake lines

Looking to upgrade all to steel. My passenger front one blew. Is there any for 08. I see 03-06 and some for basically every truck but not the 08. Would they be the same lines found on a 2500 Silverado of the same year? All the front suspension components are so I would think the routing is the same.

Update: all of the others are also bubbled and leaking so I need 6 total. The two from the front, two from the rear and the two going to the axle from the frame.

Do you own a
flaring tool kit flaring tool kit
? Brake lines are simple to repair with the proper procedure.
Cut old line at fittings
remove fitting with 6pt (socket or wrench)
Remove line from inside the fitting and clean or replace
Install a new Brake Line
flare brake line to fitting and bend/form into place to secure in original mounts.Bleed & DONE!
My '07 are ALL OEM, and when the day comes to replace, I will use:
The Same Quality as Standard Steel Coils But w/ PVF (Poly Vinyl Fluorine) Coating Adding 30-Times More Corrosion Resistance, For Building Fluid Transfer Systems From Scratch, Can Handle Pressure Up to 17,100 psi, PVF Coated For Long Life.
Btw, also easy to bend/form/fit without kinks.

I think I will contact them tomorrow. I saw they had older h2 kits, but they might be able to do something for me.

And Hummerz that is a great idea making my own and it would be something i would do on a project, but i really dont feel like making brake lines. I need something quick and easy.

I finally found on Napa stoptech coated steel hoses for front and rear (950.66503 and 950.66005) and have them on order, but I can’t find the center two hoses from the top of the rear differential. It’s not helping that some kits say they work with 08-09 but the same part numbers say they work for 03-06 but not 08-09. I really don’t know whether to believe the hoses are the same for all years or if they changed them. There’s different answers from every website.

I found a nice Russell kit that includes all 6 but only says 2003-06.

All my techs would only use the armor wrapped line after I introduced it to them. I had some techs that could replace front to rear brake lines in under an hour using a hydraulic flaring tool kit. I actually replaced all the brake lines on a '99 regal in my backyard with the armor wrap. Easy to rout in tight spaces & bend without kinking, then add/flare the fitting at both ends. Main thing is to make the front to rear lines 1 piece, that would require unions for the straight brake lines, which I've seen many leak in the past. Best to have all lines in 1 piece with a fitting at both ends!
BTW, I ordered 2 rolls of the NAPA armor wrapped last night shown above @$1.99 each

,and received an email this am:
We have an update on order #28725227
