Brake hose size ?

HI guys:
If I switch to front disc, do I have to change the brake hose lines? If yes, what the size should be. One other question, Do brake hoses hve to be spiral under the prop valve? What is the reason for this spiral? By the way, the truck is 67 3/4 ton and I am gona stay with 8 lug discs. Thanks

The lines spiral under the m-c because of the frame to cab flex. You do no have to change the steel lines, just get some adaptors to convert the line to the correct fittings, same thing at the wheels. The only problem I have encountered is where the lines come out at the wheels

Go to this web site posted by American rider and read the article. He says to use 3/16ths steel lines
