Brake lines are on, total brake job is done. Rotors, caliper's & pads on all 4, 2 new front brake lines, 1 new back brake line. Pedal is consistent every time. Stops wicked fast. Life is good.
So, the new brake lines fixed the "pump once to have good brakes" issue !

In WNY State. 2008 Red QC PW G56. No lift yet, stock size tires. It pulls an 18' 2016 Starcraft AR One Extreme, 3500 lbs.
Load Pro 35 helper springs. 2015 A.R.E. MX Series custom cap. PCP front diff cover protector. Mag-Hytec 6 qt rear diff cover. K&N replacement air filter only. Dual grounded throttle body. Winch TPC bypass. Fab Four rear bumper. DURA BAK lined rocker protection. And a bunch of new front end stuff.
G-56 Gear ratios: 1st) 6.29:1 2nd) 3.48:1 3rd) 2.10:1 4th) 1.38:1 5th) 1.0:1 6th) 0.79:1 Rev 6.29:1 --- = 78.01613:1 Crawl Ratio
-------------------------5.94:1--------3.28:1-------1.98:1-------1.31:1-------1.0:1-------0.74:1-----5.42:1 ---- = 73.675:1
545RFE----------------3.0:1---------1.67:1--------1.0:1--------0.75:1-------0.67:1------------------3.0:1 -------=37.21:1
2013+ 32.47 crawl ratio...............Can you see the trend ??????????????

That's great! Glad you're liking the new brakes Twin. I might need new lines then.

For some reason, I thought it was just the front lines. Guy said there was 1 rear as well, so he put it on. Cool ! Always good to get more than you expected.

I don't like saying I told you so, so I will let someone else say it on behalf of me.
