I bought the VA hose kit, but I am finding that very few of the fittings will work for what I need to do. I'm not sure I like the compressor fittings and the service ports. Going to be a lot of trial and error.
Yeah I feel your pain on this. I ended up heading down to the hose supply and rummaging through their parts bins to finally find the angles and fittings I needed to make it all work. Still wasn't how I would have done it if I went full custom but it's gonna be just fine for a daily. But as nice as your doing your truck, if I may, I would go buy my own hard lines and bend them just the way I wanted them. Then do the fittings just how I wanted too.

I've seen some pretty nice setups on here, hidden and not hidden. Good luck sir.
