Go to Napa. Ask for front brake lines for a 1990 1/2 ton Chevy pickup. I think those are 20" long, but measure before buying. They are almost straight bolt in - the fittings are the same, but the clip deals that hold the line to the frame will need a little massaging. These are what I ran until I got SS lines. How much lift are you running? I can't imagine what you are trying to do with 22" brake lines. My SS lines are 20" long and I haven't even come close to stetching them with 4.5" springs. The Chevy lines are the longest ones I could find in Napa's catalog with the same fittings. If you need longer ones than that, go to http://www.inlinetube.com/ and custom order some. They are about the same price as what I paid for Superlift braided lines for mine, and you can get whatever length you want. Don't forget to tie them back with zip ties or a spring to keep the tire from eating them.
