Not sure where to put this but would there be any interest in stainless braided air line? Ive been plumbing a few guys trucks around town and was just curious if anyone else would be interested in it. Whats some opinions? Is there a a market for it in airride?

seems like a good idea....  would cost more but last longer I would think...  I have big boxes of it at me shop, Might just have to look into it.

I'm want to do this with my Tacoma. I figure this will cut down on leaks and will take the abuse over time. What are you looking to charge by the foot?

I ran hydro line on my last setup and it was dependable It was jsut too many fittings and caused some leaks. may look at running steel braided but have to get the funds built back up first.

I'll get some pics in the next couple days. I did andrews f100 in the club and it got me thinking because his truck held air for almost a week with no leaks. It would consist of 3/8" id lines crimp on style which is the same as the 1/2" plastic. Ive also been toying with the idea of 1/4" id with the -6 nuts for the supply from the rear of the truck to the front. It would cut down on the cost and maybe be a bit more budget friendly than just the all -6. The hoses are tested to 3500psi so the 200psi that we use mostly isn't much of a workout for them. All electroless plated or black aluminum adapters with stainless ends. Cost i'm still working on but shouldnt be much more than $300.00 with the -4 hoses and -6 nuts. The all -6 i believe would maybe top out around $400.00. I would build the hoses to your specs and ship everything to you. Just use your choice of sealant on the npt ports and screw the other ends on. I wanted to make a kit but with so many different ways to plumb with valve location and such it would be hard. What do you guys think?
