Default 4x4 air lines

Ok so I just finished my manual 5 speed swap in my 99 ram actually it's been like a week I screwed the air lines that run from the t case to the actuator on the front axles cause they were cold and fragile !

My question is can I just run small rubber line rather then those stupid plastic lines that snap and leak?

Thanks guys

Yes. I think that's actually considered an upgrade.

Or if you're feeling ambitious, and you have the money. You could look into a manual hub conversion which would eliminate the CAD vacuum system

I was actually looking into that system where it deletes all the air lines and has a cable cad that runs into the can for 150$
