I installed Earl's hyperfirm brake lines and hooked up a Motive bleeder to the master and pumped it up to 10 PSI and some lines were leaking. I have snugged them up so they will no leak when pumped to 10 psi. I am concered that when I apply the brakes that they will leak again beacause of the extreme pressure. How tight should make these connections will these stripe easy?

  Roadmaster makes some quality parts; I have their sway bar. I considered the RAS, but I ended up bagging. I didn't know what kind of ride I'd get with RAS, and the bags have interior jounce bumpers, so I can run 0 pounds pressure. I figured I'd have the best of normal suspension ride with assist on-demand. But it seems you got pretty much the same in one item.

  They will fit with a spacer to clear but I know many people don't like that.

  with your further description, I'd be looking at all front end components. Control arm bushings can be deceiving. May look like fair condition but they're allowing play
