Brake Line thread size
Do not trust amazon's vehicle compatibility, even ebay is way better than amazon on that. Instead, go to www.rockauto.com and locate the part, there you can see the OEM part number, if it's motorcraft brand you can see motorcraft's part number as well as OEM part number which is called "alternate part number". Then you can go to www.fordpartsgiant.com and verify the OEM part number. If you are buying a single item it might be cheaper to get that on Amazon and you search the motorcraft's part number, don't search anything else.
For example, check: https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo...t=1820&jsn=963
You see:
More Information for MOTORCRAFT BRTF20{Alternate Inventory Numbers: 7C3Z2263AC}
Then you search google "MOTORCRAFT BRTF20" you can see that on amazon at: Try not to search just "7C3Z2263AC"You don't waste $80 at Amazon you can always return it. At rockauto you do have to pay for return shipping if you buy the wrong part.
Why you need to buy the brake lines that's more questionable.

Because not all vehicles are the same, you might consider checking with a local dealership parts dept.. They will require your VIN and you get the right part the first time.
There are some good aftermarket suppliers, but you need to be aware of those "fits all" parts places. The trouble of returning the incorrect parts can be a real pain and the so called "cost savings" go out the window.

Why don't you just get the motorcraft brand those will have the correct bends and the fittings. The Amazon link you provided those are the universal one and at $80 that's not cheap, it might be cheaper if you buy the Motorcraft ones separately.
Additionally you said the lines bent, the fittings should be okay to reuse. 3/16-inch line and 3/8-inch fitting (from your Amazon link) should be the standard size so the chance you get the wrong fitting is very low.

Some lines don't always go directly to the wheels.and you may not need long runs.
Places like NAPA sell various lengths of lines already made up with the correct size fittings, you might want to look into that option.. They are easily formed and quick to install.

I can't find any Motorcraft one on the ford dealer website or rock auto i did find a rebuild kit for the front lines but it was over like 150 thats why i wanted to just buy the lines myself since itll save me a ton of money
