Brake line's

How often should you replace the front disc brake line's,my truck is a 1994 F-350,I am doing the brake's and want to do it all at once if needed,the line's don't leak but they do seem hard.

My advice is to do it all at once if you can. Are you talking about the flexible lines or both those and the steel lines?

I and many more of us can tell you how much it sucks to have a hard line blow on ya!

Braided lines don't swell under hard braking and people that use them say they can tell the difference after the upgrade but you'd feel new rubber lines too if you were replacing crappy old rubber lines.

I'd go with quality factory replacements. But the braided lines offer more wear protection if that's an issue.
