Lots of work, but looks good & clean!. From my experience, you might want to put 90 degree ells out of the 4way, pointing forward, to limit the rise on the hoses. You wont need the slack. The other thing to watch, is the size of the lift rams. You may want to size them up a bit. See what you can lift. If you can pick your back wheels up with an overload, then they are big enough to get you into trouble! Leave 'em alone.
