what size lines are you guys running? 1/4 or 3/8th?

Im deciding if i should convert to 3/8th lines or stick to the 1/4th i have now.

what do you guys think?

1/4 is too slow for my taste.. most people r upgraded to 3/8 or 1/2. my A/R come with 1/4 lines then i have too throw them away and change to 3/8.u can easy get all the fittings at ur local Home depot or any local hydraulic hose shop.. it's not that expensive.. do it right the first times..

3/8 is the way to go IMHO, I run it and I'm happy with it. However do it right purchase DOT approved fittings not home depot crap.

^^Yup! I've read horror stories about cheap fittings and such. I run 1/2in lines and I love it. I wish there was a way to have the car drop slow and raise fast.

I went from 3/8 to a 1/4 4yrs ago, too fast IMO. The faster you go the less control you have on getting the ride height you want.
