Default Stainless brake lines

How much difference will it make to run stainless brake lines on my truck? Will there be much a benenfit in braking distance or will it all be in peddle feel? What kits are out there that are good, and how much do they cost? Thanks

I believe he is talking about replacing the rubber hose from the hardline to the brake caliper. They make a big difference from what everyone has said. It will be more just making the pedal feel better moreso than braking distance being reduced.

This is what you need to make a huge difference in pedal feel and braking ability I wll soon be doing this:
Earl's 5-line replacement braided brake lines (part# 28A640), ATE Super Blue Racing brake fluid, Hawk pads (HB323F.724-Front, HB385F.640-Rear).

Along with this kit:
