    Better to ask what I have not done.
    :p Your just jelly because i am more creative. Do you like drop leg or on the hip? I was thinking drop leg for hiking or wheeling/ anything out doors. And when i can ill be carrying concealed so hip it is.

    Not sure on the leaf packs.

    For the brake lines, I'm sure there is a how-to, but just a heads up for the install. When we did @iRideMTB 's extended lines, the nuts were overtightened from the factory which flared the end of the brake line to slightly larger than the thread dimensions of the female part it was inside. So we had to yank the line out of the fitting, and file off the flared end of the line for it to fit back into the fitting. I think there was at least one other person that I've seen that had the same issue. So if you completely loosen the nut and the line doesnt want to come out, at least you'll know why. And just have a file on hand if it needs it.

    And the install is nice and easy, just have the correct size wrenches and maybe a bit of torque depending on how strong the guy was feeling that was torquing them on. His assembly guy over torqued them all.

    Just a couple things
    Drop leg has its perks. I've had one on while wheeling before. Very comfortable. Easier to draw from. Hiking might get old after awhile. Depends on how far you go. Just one of those things you need to try out. Everyone is different. Just like anything, gotta see if it suits you

    We used drop legs for CQB. I always liked them, but only used them in tactical and training settings. I definitely liked drawing from them much better. Easy to get a shot off real quick like.

    Nice. I never used in on the chest, but I don't know that I would like it. Especially going from the thigh. We practiced firing from the index quite a bit, so I'm not sure I'd like that. But you could get a solid grip faster, so I guess it's all a trade off.

    Well I got my AAL installed into the Dakar packs during the debate. Pretty easy. We will see if I have the tools and aptitude for the brake lines this weekend.

    Call Downsouth Motorsports. They'll discuss options and pricing.

    seeing your pic in the ADS thread, how much clearance did you have for the resi and the tire?
    Have they come with a better mounting option?

    Zero clearance. They rub just slightly. No better option from the factory that I know of.

    Going to have to get creative with it. @TMFF can help with fittings and hose length to get it where you want, although if you have something in mind, you can order them with a specific setup.
