Brake lines
I have a 2002 F350 7.3L and I replaced the brake lines with Nicopp nickel copper alloy lines (none rusting lines) last year, just to get the truck up and running... Now I want to tow a 9000lb travel trailer and I want to know if these lines will be strong enough? or should I change them to something else,,, like steel....

First of all the Nicopp nickel copper alloy lines are SAE Standard J1047 and ISO 4038, so they are "Good to Go!" 
After reading this I wish I would used these when I replaced the long brake line from the front of the truck back to the diff. Because as I recall it had about 14 or 15 bends in it. So incase you haven't read this, this will put your mind to easy. AGS Company - NiCopp
So thanks for pointing out the Nicopp nickel copper alloy lines since I have to replace ALL brake lines on my old motorhome and my boat trailer this spring. I'mm going to give them a try. Where did you buy they. I am looking for a 100' roll.

Unless your trailer brakes don't work, then you might have to mash on them pretty hard. Or if they go out at an in-opertune time like the ones did on my hay trailer last summer. Had a death grip on the wheel and both feet standing on the brakes

Not sure about strength, but small sharp bends will cause the fluid to get to hot and reduce the braking ability.
