any particular reason you went with sensors on the hot and cold sides?
seems redundant to me since there never should be a big difference
between the two... just wanting to keep an eye out for a broken line?

I'm not having any trouble at all with the hose fittings leaking, aside
from the two that had wrinkled o-rings (and whatever the slow leak is).
I'm having trouble with the fitting not sealing against that one shock
body. when I took it off and re-greased the o-ring, it held pressure
to about 4 before it blew, and now it leaks immediately. The fitting
looks okay, so I need to pull off the shock and see if there's some
foreign something in there or a bur or what. those are this afternoon's
projects.

I was pretty surprised that they didn't include any in the kit. what
sort of fittings did you find? something similar to what rancho uses?
I've never seen tiny air line fittings laying around any stores, but I
haven't looked yet. I do have the luxury of waiting to worry about
springing leaks until after it stops leaking without my help =)
the only place I'm worried about the hose is where I ran it across the
front of the truck. everywhere else it's very well protected, but ya
never know, I suppose. how has yours gotten nicked?
