Power steering lines

[RFB]

Just took the rig up some very nasty trails, trying out the new tough dog steering stabilizer and such and lo and behold If I didnt blow a lower power steering line kinda ruining the end of the day, still patched it enough to drive home 60 miles, BUT my question Is there a better type of lines to replace mine the rubber ones with? Id like to use sytainless steel braided but wnted to hear if there was any value in that. plus wheres the best place to score them? Thanks gents HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY TO ALL

There are 2 pieces of 3/8" and one piece of 5/8" of the low pressure TOC (transmission oil cooler) hose. Don't use fuel or coolant hose as they will fail prematurely. It is very rare that the one high pressure line fails. OEM is really good stuff, or take your old one to a Hydralic Hose shop and they can build one for you.

If it's the high pressure hose, the OEM version is spendy. IIRC it's north of 100$. I have a serviceable spare (I think) if you need an OEM one cheap.
