2002 Excursion brake line problem
Brake line that goes from the anti lock manifold to rear wheels has sprung a leak where the flexible part attaches to the metal line. Where can I buy this? Rock Auto has two kits with multiple lines but is out of stock on both. Are these lines a problem that will occur sooner or later with the rest of them?

I haven’t had to replace mine yet so the best I can do is point you to another thread where different kits were discussed. https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...level-kit.html
your Ex is 20 years old so it is reasonable to assume the brake lines will fail at some point. If you have the money and time it may be worth doing them all while you are are fixing the broken one.

I used the sstubes kit. The one i ordered comes with every hard brake line. It fit well, was well packaged. And the reality is once one line goes the others aren't far behind. Ive had them fail on different Fords and it's always during a good hard stomp on the brakes.

I used the DORMAN 919295 (Set) Kit; OE FIX Info 4WD from RockAuto. Since they are out of stock, do some googling for a place that has it. It's likely if one line rusted out, you have others that are close to failing. That's why I ordered the full kit. I started only replacing one line and found two other lines with rust that was sketchy.
I was pleased with the quality and they are stainless steel so the rust factor should not be an issue anymore. I only installed the lines to the two front wheels and across the rear axle. Looked like the front to rear line was two pieces to make it easier install without pulling large parts off the truck.
Good luck but it's not too bad to replace them.

I used the Dorman kit also, my rear line from the master to the rear axel sprung a leak for the second time so I knew it was time to replace them all with stainless . As stated above an easy install.
