Probably doesn't matter to most but this is knock off / cheap off brand hose. The hose doesn't fit in the proper #10 fittings. If you ever have to go to fix this line Goodluck... For $350+ very disappointed

Exactly what I wanted and easier to install than the original aluminum lines

The AC quit cooling in my 2006 Suburban. Upon charging the system, I heard the dreaded "hiss" coming from near the passenger side rear tire. A quick check on youtube revealed that the likely issue was the rear condenser line had a leak.I wasn't going to risk trying to figure out which line was bad, and decided to replace both. While these are cheap, the quality is "OEM" level, and being a flexible rubber, a bit easier to install vs. a hardline, especially if your Suburban has running boards, as the OEM lines run inside the brackets, meaning you would have to remove the running board to get to the lines.I had no issue pulling the original lines from the engine compartment area. Those came apart just fine. My issue came with the rear condenser connections. The connections are on the passenger side, just above the tailpipe. In addition to very little room to work, it is nearly impossible to get some leverage on the lines to pull them.I ended up cutting the lines (they are aluminum tubing) and then getting inside the back end, removing the panels on the passenger side, and then tearing apart the housing that holds the condenser. I honestly think there were over a dozen screws to remove, and then I had to "muscle out" the condenser. While a total pain in the butt to do, once out, I could at least confirm the condenser was in good shape.I found the connections I needed to remove had virtually bonded themselves to the threaded stud that held them in. I ended up using a dremel tool with a cut off wheel to cut the old connections off. After cleaning up the connections on the condenser, I reassembled everything in the back of the Suburban and then went to work running the hoses.I started at the back and fished the lines forward to the engine compartment. I don't think there is a right or wrong way to do this other than doing your best to keep them as protected as possible. I was able to route the smaller diameter line with the old lines near the running board, but the larger line was bit more of a challenge. The lines come with some zip ties, but get more. In addition to adding more, I ended up cutting some and moving the lines a bit once I got them to the front, as they are a tad longer than need be, and you may end up needing to make some adjustments.The hoses themselves are of high quality, and the connections are as good as the OEM. Both lines bolted right up and I confirmed they sealed properly once I got the system charged. Ice cold AC blowing once again!While not a job I would want to repeat, it can be done "in the back yard" with the proper tools (and in my case, a little ingenuity with a dremel tool) and a little patience. Like any repair on a 15 year old vehichle, be ready to get into a bit more that just removing 4 bolts and popping in new lines, and you will be fine.
