ProHopper Fittings and all other Lowrider Hydraulic companies have gone downhill over the years to make an extra buck or some say to sell the kits cheaper to the consumer . I have had the same problem i replaced all of them with Parkers which isnt cheap

i agree all the parts you need are in your home town. In fact you'll even find better pumps and dumps.In the end you might pay 10% more for the product but the parts are down the street not 5days or longer away.May not look as shiny but how you finish them is up to you. The brand name guys like showtime,pro hopper etc.... all have the same equipment and get all their parts from the same place. Sure there are a few small differences but in general there are only a few people in the world are setup to build that style of pump,dump,motor,cylinder....For example I switched out my pro hopper cylinders for a higher grade industrial style and didnt replace a seal for almost two years and drove that bitch everyday

Let me guess you have chrome fittings? All the companies take brass fittings and chrome them, there to soft and they leak... Your best bet is to go buy new fittings from parker and have those chromed
