3/8" supply and 5/16" return

Best option here is a big line kit from Vulcan Performance which converts the line to 1/2". This kit also eliminates the restrictive Banjo Bolts:

No big deal Arizona. I don't really care about upgrading to 1/2 but I would like to know more about these Banjo Bolts. What are they and if they are restrictive how can I get rid of them without upgrading the line size. Sorry bout the Newb Questions, this is the first Diesel I've actually owned.

Banjo bolts essentially are fittings for the fuel system. Im guessing, but every aftermarket fuel system replaces them as they are restrictive:
