Stainless lines definitely help reduce the spongy feel because when you brake, the lines can't bulge out like the rubber ones so all of the fluid goes directly into the caliper. Changing out your brake fluid will help too but stainless lines make a bigger difference. At the end of the day its still a truck so the spongy feel is probably 50-60% gone and now light pedal pressure like the weight of your foot slows the truck where as before it did nothing for me. For the SS lines I used the following:

Front: StopTech 950.44007
Rear Calipers: StopTech 950.44507
Rear Center at Axle: Metaltech CRWN-FJC-REAR

This thread has all the info you ever wanted to know about brake lines:

Likewise this tread has all the info you need about the brake upgrade:

Very useful info, thanks for posting. Reviving and old thread but am just buying the parts for this upgrade and had a question. What exactly is the rear center at axle brake line for? Thank you!
