The teflon tape actually acts as a lubricant and can turn the fittings from vibration. You also don't want tape getting in your valves it can mess them up bad. Teflon tape can also cause you to over tighten the fittings. I would also recommend not usung the cheaper fittings that have the pressed nylon inside plastic inserts in them. they can leak. On the lines I'm just running 1/2 inch DOT line but you can do hard lines if you want to out of copper or stainless. You can alos look for a air exchanger valve. It allows the air to flow only one direction. so if you have a leak at the tank it won't flow back and leak out, it will keep your ride up even if the leak is in the back or somewhere else, it can help you isolate your problems. I'm new to bagging too but I read this stuff in a Sport truck magazine in thier basics for bagging a ride. I followed the advice on my car and it seems to prove correct. So hopefully maybe some of this will help you out a little.
