Default upgrade the fuel system

wanting to upgrade the fuel system. new lift pump and bigger lines. Was wondering who you guys would go thru and or what brands are the best for a do it yourself-er. I have a lift and all tools to do most jobs other than custom tooling. I know faas and airdog are big names in that area but then what about upgrading to 1/2 in fuel lines, do they also do upgraded lines themselves or do i have to get that from someone else?

Best money spent would be an Airdog II 165. Replaces all lines from Tank to VP44.

Is there a specific kit people make? I know people go to 1/2 inch lines just have never actually heard if it was a kit or what.

The AirDog II comes as a kit. Everything you need, pump, filters, fittings, and hoses between the tank to pump, and pump to VP44

just get a fass and be done with it. I don't think there is a difference between 1/2 lines or 3/8 know 3 people make over 1k on fuel on 12v with 3/8 lines off their fass pumps

U can't go wrong with either the fass or airdog. I like the draw straw setup better on the AD2.

"Upgrading" to 1/2" lines is a great way to spend more money, and achieve nothing more then being able to say you have 1/2" lines.
