Reverse 4 links are bad.... at least in a vehicle dynamics sense... they are great fo space and keeping the stock tank... That looks good though, is that copper hardline or copper softline??? looks like hardline from the large radius bends...

My truck is hardlined from the front. I used compression fittings from Napa. They are DOT, and not much more than the stuff from Home Depot.

Yeah ackland most any auto or truck supply place will carry them... acklands is just an industrial supplier... I can get the fittings and ship them to you for fairly cheap if you cannot find them.

Vibrating loose???? I have never had that happen...but if it did I would loctite the nuts on the fittings... And thats why you dont use home depot shit on your trucks.

Sorry for the late reply - everything is hard copper throughout except for the arch thru the notch, the curved section to the rear bags, and the curved section to the front bags.

Thanks for the comments. Joked with my father in-law (retired master plumber) - my version of plumbers nightmare LOL
