I called the guys at finelinesinc.com who make them pre-bent in both regular (galvanized) and stainless, and theirs are two-piece to make installation and, presumably, shipping easier. You might want to check with them.

Should any local Jeep dealer carry this brake line?
I don't think any dealer would have it in stock.

They would order it out of one of their warehouses and have it shipped to their dealership.

Call/go to your dealer and tell them you want that part number.

Edit: XJ parts are getting real slim pickings lately so be prepared to hear them say they can't get it.

This is what happened to me. Luckily I was able to get the rear brake hose loose from the steel line without breaking anything.

Just had to replace the rear brake tube on my '00. $42 from the dealership and it was there next day. For what it's worth to those that have this ahead of them be prepared to deal with rusted fittings. Mine is an Indiana XJ so you can imagine what it looked like. I'm split on weather I would get the factory bent line or straight tube and do the bending myself if I had to do it over. Also be prepared to replace bleeder screws. Mine is equipped with the 1/4-28 versions at the rear and I was only able to get them in a variety pack after looking at several different parts stores. Good luck!
