Default Air Line replacements

Does anyone know where to get replacement air lines for the suspension? I checked Shucks auto supply but they don't seem to have them. One of the rear struts has a leak in the line so the compressor was running all the time so right now the compressor is disconnected.

Looks like it and they are going to charge me. Maybe I can see if I can patch it some how.

It isn't much different than the line used for oil pressure and vacuum gauges. Another possibility is to pick up one from a junkyard/wrecker.

I don't have the air-adjustable shocks, so don't know exactly what the hose/line looks like, but I've had good luck with other lines by just taking a piece into the auto parts store and matching the hose type to their bulk variety products.

I truly don't know if they have what you need, but it'* certainly worth a try, since the bulk hoses tend to be relatively inexpensive.
