Inline tube is what I used on the GMC they were so close only slight adjustments required. I would use them again.
??? A double flare is a piece of cake. Just follow the very simple instructions. I have done many for both my vehicles and customer's. Special tools, yes, but so what? A torque wrench is a special tool. I'll trust my flares in any vehicle, any time. Just because you bought something does not mean it is good. A close inspection of a flare is always required.

I highly recommend the nickle-copper alloy brake lines. No rust, easy to bend and flare (even for newbies). I just recently replace my brake lines from the ABS all the way back to the wheel cylinders on my Durango. And they were bubble flares at that. Perfect flare every time.
