What have you guys replace the cheap blue tube for the ARB with? i once had to shorten a line in the trail cause it was bended and cut and compressor couldn't keep up. it is really a pain to remove and put that inner and outer sleeve back on the tube. Have some of you went braided hose, not sure what kinf od fitting i would use, or if i would need to have to fitting pressed on the hose before install?

Have you tried a large truck brake shop? They use a high quality plastic hardline that comes in multiple sizes, and I'd be willing to bet there's also an adapter to something that would mate up to the ARB lines.
Very easy to splice if one were to break sometime in the future.

I went to a local hose shop and had steel braided hoses made to replace both the front and rear lines. Unscrewed the connectors and installed the new lines.

I switched my hoses to 6mm Push fit, ARB use 5mm and olives, here it's hard to find.
If mine breaks, all I need do is cut the damaged section out and stick a double ended 6mm push fit in to repair and your all good again.

My local NAPA sells stiff rubber vacuum tubing per ft. I used this to sheave the blue line with.
ARB do a heavy duty air line kit.. It fits to the bulkhead fitting in the 3rd and provides a connection to the nylon line.. I think the part number is HDAL.. I have one in each of my ARB'd 40s..
