like a dumda$$ i think i stripped the threads on my SLS valve. those damn hard lines are way too short to work with and no room above the axle.

One fitting was going in a little tighter than the other but I assumed it was because the line was so short and bend so tight that it was kinda rubbing on the fitting as I was tightening it. guess it was the threads going in cross-ways.

It's the real short line from the pax air cell to the valve right below. I think I'm gonna get a new, much longer line and make the connection with a wide curve so there is more flex and free play to align the fitting with the hole.

got my new air cells installed and now i've got hyd fluid shooting out one of the valve fittings. I guess that valve body is soft alloy?

be warned if you are working with your SLS valve.
