This POS 90* fitting that connects the air hose to the top of the front air strut is some DELICATE crap.
I accidentally dropped a 3/4 inch socket wrench on it from a height of about 12-16 inches. Loud PSSSHHHHHHHHHH and the front of the damn truck drops 6 inches.

I'm so pissed off right now.
So now I guess I have to take it into the dealer and get a new fitting and get the system recharged.

Anyone know how much that's going to cost? Not that I have a choice.
Anyway BE CAREFUL that POS will break if you look at it funny.

So while installing my JBA headers this past weekend I noticed that the passenger side air fitting is MUCH closer (to the headers) than the driver side. This added heat may be a contributing factor to the plastic being so brittle.
For those with air suspension I recommend adding some kind of additional heat protection. I used left over header wrap.
