Default Which stainless brake hoses for my truck?

Hi,
I have a 1995 2WD with 2" lift springs in the front and 32x11.5x15 BFG KO2 tires. The rubber brake hose on the passenger front is rubbing. Im on my second hose now and its still finding a way to rub when the wheel is turned hard to the right. I've made slight bending adjustments to the metal tubing portion, but the rubber portion still wants to rub on the tire.
What is the best stainless hose to use? Which length should I get? And how should I go about routing and securing the hose to prevent rubbing on the tires? Zip tie to shock?

Thanks in advance.

It shouldn't but...
A stainless hose rubbing isn't great either.
If you need to use a zip tie to keep your brake line from rubbing on your tire, use one.
Not a perfect solution but better than losing brakes.
