Brake lines

At 20 years, it's time for new brake lines. Any suggestion on SS braided brake lines?

I and many other members have used Russell braided lines, you get all 5 lines in the kit. Fit well and I have had no problems with them

I have PMF lines on my Super Duty, they fit and work great. You can order either 3 or 5 piece kits.

They make the top-tier brake line sets for brands like klm, pmf, etc...
Wherever you choose to source them, this is the brand I'll always recommend. Actual stainless steel.
I had the Russell set, and the fronts lasted about 3 years before the rigid section at the caliper rusted to the point of embrittlement.
That part is galvanized steel and I suspect heat cycles cooked off the zinc. or maybe mine were a Friday set.
