Rubber isnt perfect, but it sure beats SS. Dry rot doesnt sneak up on you
like a teflon hose that gets worn under the braiding... its alot safer
unless you're ok with the idea of changing them out often.
   I know for a fact that it'll stop 33s without failing.
   And as for extended lengths, all it takes is a little research. Go down
to the LAPS and check out the books, they have the lengths and end types all
right there for ya. I did this on my Samurai and ended up with lines about
6" longer all around. Cost me about 45 bucks total. Make sure to put a
twist in em before you hook the second end up... This keeps the brakline
from rubbing on the tire throught the suspenion cycle (usually).
