Hopefully soon when all my parts come in ill be installing my 12inch Rize and was wondering when i change out my brake lines should i bleed them? Would it be a good idea or no? Few people said ill have to add about a pint anyways due to have longer brake lines etc. Truck has 50k on it

 

yes blead them when you install the new lines

 

Alright cool thanks man. What brand of fluid should i use?

 

i used the cheap DOT 4 stuff.

autozone brand. not sure if theres much difference for brake fluid.

 

oh ok sounds good

 

You should be using DOT 3. The OEM uses DOT 3... some DOT 4 fluids may be incompatible.

The additives in brake fluid can vary. I would stick with name brands if it were my truck. Cheaping-out on brake fluid could lead to higher wear or even rust in the brake system. Generally not a system where you want to take risks.
