Where do you guys buy braided brake lines from?
I have been having problems with the front brakes dragging. It was brought to my attention the original brake lines could be collapsing so I thought that I should go ahead and go with braided in the process. Who is the best to purchase them from? Is there a vender on here that sells them?

I got a set with my lift from offroaddesign.com. They look like quality lines, but I haven't installed them yet, so I can't tell you how much of a difference they make.

Re: Where do you guys buy braided brake lines from?
Thanks for all of the input! I was looking at a set of Russell brand on Ebay. They are $98 I was just hoping maybe a vendor here on the board sold them.

Re: Where do you guys buy braided brake lines from?
I got a full set for $75 I believe of summit. Russel DOT lines. Made a big difference in mine too. I will see if I can find the part number.
My stepside brakes were dragging and not releasing. I dug into the issue and found the cause. The issue isn't the lines collapsing but rather expanding and the metal sleeve that holds them on will restrict one section from expanding so it swells shut inside.
