I'd just replace the bad one... and add the SS lines.

Why replace the others? Other than to give your mechanic more work...

I don't see a reason to replace all four calipers. However, I would replace the caliper on the other side of the truck. I had my ps front caliper break apart. I replaced both on the front (as recommend by my haynes manual).

I'd like to get better calipers, though.

Yes. I upgraded the rotors and got Hawk pads, but it still takes quite a bit of force to stop the truck. Plus, in addition to one of my rear calipers sticking, I believe one of my lines is leaking into the other rear caliper.

I used to flush it down the toilet, but you can only put so much of it in there at one time. I needed a way to get rid of it more quickly.

You should really buy a new toilet first... the expensive ones are much better at handling large loads!
