    One of my metal brake lines on rear axle is bent and fluids isn't flowing through very good so I'm replacing them. Any suggestions on possible mods or upgrades for the lines or should I just go with OEM replacements?

    Copper nickel. You can bend them yourself and buy a flaring tool. Make plenty of lines for cheaper than it would cost for someone else to replace with OEM.

    you’re welcome! Glad it worked out and you’re happy with the results. You shouldn’t have to worry about them rusting out ever again.
