Stainless steel braid brake lines
Hi all
Can anyone confirm those do really help?
1999-2004 Chevy Silverado Brake Lines - Russell 672430 - Russell Brake Lines
Or similar in strength and resilience to internal pressure

Better stopping power... Larger diameter rotor + more pistons in the calipers. The more surface you can have touching the brake pads evenly will greatly improve stopping power. This get expensive tho so other options would be drilled and slotted rotors with high performance brake pads. If you run stock brakes then there is no need for stainless braided hoses.

^ exactly. Bigger rotors/dual pistons/and larger pads. I upgraded my 01 silverado with 12" rotors and dual piston calipers up front to the 06 z71 4x4 13" front brakes/calipers/rotors for 300. Also upgraded the back from 12" single pistons to the 06 z71 Tahoe 13" rotors/brakes/calipers for 300 as well. Costs money, but I can stop 35s without a worry in the world!

What size wheels are on the truck? How large are the rotors? How much larger do you want to get? Your clearance issues are going to be with the caliper more than the rotors so if you go aftermarket they should give you a minimum diameter wheel to use. If you go factory upgrade like country then you will need a minimum of what came on the truck you get the parts off of.
