There are four flex lines: one from the frame to the rear axle, one from the frame to the front axle, and two which run from the axle tube to the knuckles. Changing all four would be a good thing.

The little S shaped lines at each front wheel cylinder will also be seized, and they are a bugger to make. You might as well order two of those too. There is a way to undo them without damaging them, but it is sketchy at best so I won't divulge it.
Have a look at your regular steel lines as well. If they are showing signs of anything more than minor surface rust, change them too. For those you can buy those premade lengths of tubing at Cdn tire andcut and re-flare one end to make it the right length. Make sure you double flare the line: single flare will not do on a brake line.
