I'm not a lover of all rubber lines but ended up with several so --- gotta say that they work just fine. I have a rubber hose at the actuator through the battery compartment floor, another at the frame step and more at the calipers. You do need rubber lines at the calipers as they are what is considered 'full floating' in that both sides of the caliper move along a slider bolt.



There are many different lengths of the rubber hoses or kits made by Kodiak, all of which are DOT certified. If that's the way you go, just make sure that you measure well and get the correct end fittings. If you choose steel lines, makes sure that your double flaring shills and tools are good enough. I've made literally hundreds of brake line double flares with nary a problem but doing the brakes on our 5er proved to be a challenge.
