Even when the length is correct it is still possible for something to move the hose to where it can get pinched. I'll venture that this is more of a concern for those in the East or the North than for us in the SW.

A note of concern about braided SS hoses. If the braid is left exposed grit will get into it and start an abrasive wear cycle. How long to hose failure depends on how much grit and how often it is cycled. I had some that have never seen anything except dry desert that the new owner of the vehicle says are about due to be replaced after ~20 years of very occasional use. MISF had some that only lasted a couple of years on his semi-DD/wheeler before being totally unsafe. He's also in the SW, but does far more snow runs etc. than I do.
The thing is that the braid isn't just abrasion protection for the hose. It is also the strength of the hose. The teflon liner by itself is marginal for brake system pressures, maybe 500 psi max & probably less. The solution is simple, if you build the hoses yourself (as I do and recommend) then cover the braid with adhesive lined heat-shrink. If you buy them, buy only those with some sort of cover over the braid.
