I would go to Summit to get the SS Hoses (not gonna be cheap)....

Those stainless lines hold heat more than regular heater hose.

From your avatar, it looks like you show the truck, so stainless will look pimp. 3/4" is the size....and run them however you see fit; some go around by the distributor and down along the drivers side, mine went across the A/C box, into the passengers fender and down....

Don´t let the ss hose touch any of your electrical cables cause they quickly rub throu the insulation and you get a nice an warming fire.
May I ask what kind of 4-link you used on your sy?

The 4link is a Airride technologies 1stgen airbar 4link

thanks, how does it handle compared to the leaf-spring setup?
I still can´t decide wich 4-link to choose (I thought about one from suicidedoors.com) so I´m looking for some input.

The 4link handles ok but I dont have the front sway bar on now so it handles like a schoolbus ,the true test will be in about 2 weeks once the rear is cnotched
