spin on fuel filter kit

Hey guys, looking for a good quality spin on fuel filter conversion from the stock in line style. The connections on mine are binding so badly now that i haven't been able to change the filter. If any of you have recommendations it would be great!

Conversion will be on my 5.4 truck. Thanks!

Airdog or other fuel filter system.

the unit has options for a 2 micron filter or 10 micron filter.

2 microns for fall/summer/spring and 10 microns for winter. I keep the 2 micron in my garage on a shelf during the winter.

I'm guessing i'll have to make my own lines with adapters? Or do the kits usually take care of it? Thanks!

I bought the fp-100 which is a 10 psi lift pump. I installed it in line , after thevtsnk, before the stock underchasid lift pump. Comes with everything. Costs a pretty penny .

You could probally splice in a radcor type filter filter in between your existing lift pump and on board engine filter. Stock engine filter is 5 microns so if you put a 2 micron filter in front of it, you would never have to change the engine mounted filter.

the stock under chassis filter is 10 microns.

My 5.4 as far as I'm aware doesn't have a lift pump on the frame. Will the aforementioned kit still work on a gas truck?
