Default Russell stainless brake hoses

With my hydroboost conversion they came out great I've never had strong brakes before and all I can say is that I'm completely happy how my brakes feel now.
Here are some pics of how they look installed. I know I need to clean the truck, but I really don't have anytime but hopefully spring break is coming soon

Yessir, I felt a definite difference in the feel of the brake pedal after I did mine last year, worth the coin IMO

Hydroboost is just awesome!! along with SS lines. wow.

we were out yesterday, lownslo06 was riding in my truck with me, mashed on the go fast pedal and we got up to around 100 and i proceeded to slow down.. He laughed and said he needed to get some brakes like mine.. i wasnt even on them good..

its just so amazing how much better it stops, and the feeling in the pedal is nice.

anyone looked at or tried the Stop Flex stainless brake hose kits from Classic Tube.com?

don't see the Stop Flex brand available anywhere else and wondered what the differences are - well besides price.

example my app = 01 1500 4WD; kit from classic tube $181.83 v. Russell kit from Summit or JEGs is $139

I'm wanting to do both the hydroboost conversion and the stainless hose kit at the same time
back to searching for hydroboost parts - these seem hard to find

I finally got around to putting on the front set this past weekend, but ran into a problem before I started on the rear. The bleeder on the passenger rear is stripped and will not come off. So now I have to fix that before I can get the rear done, but with just the front on there it does make a good difference in the pedal pressure.
