Hi, I am doing up a New Performance Super Major and all I have got hydraulic wise is my lift arms, I am looking at adding a tipping pipe or one double acting spool valve, is there anywhere that I can plumb in a spool valve so I can also use my lift arms independently, I know I could put my return ba...
