I have always wondered, what does curling the lines do exactly?

It gives the hard line some flex area

Also, the bigger pot denotes it's a disc brake MC. (larger area for the fluid to react against means it needs a bigger reservoir)
I love Mopars so much I'm date coding the skid marks in my underwear.

The rear line is still stuck...soaking the heck out of it with PB...hoping for the best in a day or two...also all the fittings are rounded so vice grips or channel locks to get it out.
Its also difficult to get at because its between the frame rail and the torsion bar

Your best bet is to either replace the lines with new, or make them. Making them is one of the easiest things you could do once you learn how. All you need is some 3/16 line and nuts. A lot of time you can reuse the origional nuts unless rounded off. The special size nuts can be had as well.
good luck.

What Rich said, keep your old lines for a pattern, that's what I did.
Objects quickly DISAPPEAR in the rearview mirror and PLEASE stay seated until the ride comes to a complete stop!!
