I'm getting ready to run all my air line on my bagged frame and im having a delima. I dont want to run my plastic air line around my c notch so i want to run my air line through the notch since it is hollow. Would leader hose be good enough for this purpose and if so where can i get just the leader hoses for the least amount of dollar bills. Id like to get two like 2-3 feet long so that the fittings would be out of sight when installed. I'm trying to keep it kind of clean looking around the bridge and stuff. Any help or other suggestions would be appreciated.

i cant afford to get hard line. I'm on a tight college budget. Gas getting back and forth to school is using pretty much all my money. I love the look but i just want to get my truck put together lol.

Yea i was thinking about the possibility of it rubbing through but i think it will be alright. if anything ill wrap the part that wont be seen up in the notch good with something.

thats why i guess ill just use leader hose, I wont drive my truck too much, just to shows and at 20 bucks a pop, i can replace them fairly cheap. I see that suicide doors carries the viair leader hoses so ill just pick some of them up i guess.

soft line will feed through your notch, but as stated, it will move around and rub some, what you can do is depending on the size of the tubing, you can take an old air compressor shop hose, and cut a chunk of it, slice the length and wrap the tubing with that, and secure with zip ties, that stuff is pretty thick, so even if it does move a bit...be a long time before it chews threw that. Just an idea if your on a budget, cuz braided hoses arent cheap.
