    I'm about to upgrade my front calipers and rotors to Tundra brakes..I already bought an installed these lines, which are great. Will they fit into the Tundra calipers? I read that the Wheelers ones do...has anyone used these with the Tundra calipers?

    I just did this swap in my '04 Prerunner with 2.5" lift up front and 1.5" lift rear. Brake lines arrived in about 4 days, quality is top notch and installation easy. The added length was just right for the lift without too much slack. As mentioned, just bend the keeper clips into a slightly more curved arc and they hold these new lines in tightly. Also, bought a set of the Harbor Freight metric flare nut wrenches, which are very thick at the open end and did not flex at all. I had no problem removing the original factory steel lines from the rubber hoses. The flare wrench set goes from 6mm to 21mm, so I used the 20mm to hold the stainless brake hose hex while using the 10mm wrench to loosen/ tighten the brake lines.

    I decided to upgrade my brake system components, including these brake lines after I was recently towing a trailer and was unable to stop in an emergency with a soft pedal, when I felt the truck should have stopped - resulting in close to $3k of front-end damage to the truck.
    I installed these lines along with EBC dimpled & slotted rotors and greenstuff pads (Stage 3 kit), and also adjusted a badly out of adjustment right rear drum that was causing 2.5 to 3" of pedal travel and squishy braking. Rear shoes were not engaging until the pedal was near the floor. Now the brakes engage with less than 1" pedal and stop firmly - like they never have before since I've owned the truck. Due to the upgraded rotors, pads and adjustments, I can't say I can tell a difference from just the old rubber to new stainless braided hoses. The entire braking system has been hugely improved, and these steel lines are added piece of mind from the original 12-year old rubber lines.
