That's the first I've heard of that. In fact I've been told by brake experts quite the opposite. And in the many years I've used them on my rockcrawlers, I've definitely never experienced any of what you've described. Try a local brake shop. They can usually make you a rubber-only brakeline in whatever size you need.

They will also give you better brake pedal feel over rubber hoses. By the way the "X" looks great, but what is that thing parked next to in the driveway?!? Just busting on you!!!
Here is the rollover in question:

I asked around about rubber lines and know one can seem to find any extended rubber ones. I think your best bet might be getting them custom made. As far as SS vs. Rubber, as long as they're DOT approved, it's a personal choice. I'm sure there are probably a good number of examples of line failures from both types. And both have their pro's and con's. But this thread is about finding you extended rubber lines not debating SS vs. Rubber.
