front disc brake line size, switching from front drums?

If I were to upgrade my front drums to discs, would the factory steel line be too small for the discs? I realize I have to separate the lines at the Tee where the front and rear meet, but the remainder of the front lines, will they need to be ran in larger tubing for discs to function properly?


this was a good post about switching to a dual 4 wheel drum setup vs single reservoir:

The stock lines should be good, I believe they are 3/16 up front.

drums are typically the ones that need larger lines for more volume
