I am preparing to install a lift soon so last night I tryed to change out the stock front and rear drop brake lines. Well I ruined the fitting on the hard line from the h block to upper front drop line and also ruined both fittings on the hard line at the axle. Briefly tried the rear and looks like the same thing.
Should I replace with new hard lines (bend myself, which I suck at) or replace with all steel braided lines? Do steel braided lines work well or do they expand a little over long runs like this application? I can probably get a good deal on steel braided stuff through a friend so it maybe worth it. I also have a friend that works for tubbing bending company so he could probably fab up new hard lines as well.
Any advise is welcome.
