You can drill out the port and retap it to a bigger size.

And run half inch line and valves for faster movement.

So What company would everybody's choice be over? Cost doesn't really matter that much, i just don't wanna go cheap or something and then have something break or malfunction on me and cost more. Is ART better than EasyStreet? What other companies offer Air Ride for the J-

HOLY SH*T DUDE. That is a BAD ASS settup. Where did you buy that line? What is it made of and how did you bend it? Very nice dude! You put mine to shame!

thanks for the comments i need to put it in photos and media, the line is 1/2" stainless steel hard line i got it from a plumbing contracting warehouse in dayton, ohio i also live around there the place is called mainline supply co., inc. (937) 254-6910 or (800) 874-8596 ask for AL, i don't know if they will ship it or not i paid $55 for 60 feet. im really good at fabricating things and i've never done this kind of pipe work before and it was really easy to do you just have to take it slow. as for how i bent the pipe i had this pipe for about 2 months before i figured out a way to bend it i couldn't find a pipe bender that would work right so i made one. i will get pics of it here in a little while all it was made out of was a 6" diameter pulley from an engine and a couple pieces of metal stock. 1/2" stainless has a 3" bend radius thats why all of the bends look so big. i'll get more pics here in a little while.

Damn Mangs. Yall should go pick up a minitrucking mag every now and then. You can spot some crazzy setups using hard lines. Wild bends and all sorts of things.
MOst people I know run hard lines. I was just two lazzy to do it myself. But I will use them on my truck. Its pretty easy to do. You can pick up tube benders used for fuel lines and such and then its just trial and error.
