Brake problems

I have an 88 f150 that I converted to 4x4 using the front end from a 95 f150. I also installed a 4 inch lift. Well I got some extended stainless steel brake hoses for the front, and after putting them on I proceeded to bleed the brakes, but the drivers side brake line began to leak between the line and the caliper. I thought it may be the crush washer, so I replaced both crush washers, on both sides of the truck, and continued bleeding them. All was well for a little while but then brake fluid and air blew out and began leaking again. What could be causing this?

Rebuilt calipers from Parts store? Then get another caliper and return that one. Have had many from the parts store that they would leak. Worth checking before failing another part of the system.
