Implantable medical lead devices such as leads and lead extensions include conductors within the lead device body that interconnect proximal and distal electrical connectors and that have balanced clocked positions. The balanced clocked positions may be achieved by separating a first conductor from a second conductor by an adequate amount, where the first conductor has a length as measured from a given point along the lead to the end of the conductor that is most similar to the length of the second conductor as measured in the same manner. The balanced clocked position of conductor pairings based on similarity of length may provide benefits such as reducing the tendency of the lead to curve when one or more layers of the lead body are being injection molded around the conductors.
