Fuel filter system suggestions

Ok all, i've just installed a new ddrp on my stock truck. I put the little inline filter in they provide, but i want to change to a system that has a spin on filter. I'm concerned that the plastic line the filter is currently in isn't going to survive many changes, plus it's a pain to change. With a stock truck, which filter setups would you all recommend? I'm researching now, but always prefer to hear from folks I "know" and what they've experienced. Thanks.

The FASS system has everything you need if you get the actual Fuel/AirSeparationSystem. If you aren't running a high hp your stock filter should be fine. NAPA makes a metal in line filter you can replace that plastic one with, but since the plastic one isn't being pressurized you should be fine...

I run a Raycor Filter assembly. I have the Raycor 4120 unit which has 3/4"-16 SAE ports and will accept the R45-R60-R90-R120 water seperation filters (2 micron - 30 micron) and have a yellow tinted (see-through) drain bowl at the bottom. It also has a primer port and pump at the top to help get rid of air when changing filters... Pretty cool and helpful.

I run the R90 & R120 filters and they last a long time but are a little expensive and hard to find. I cross-referenced the filter and found that the Baldwin BF-1283 will work (Center Threads 1"-14 SAE) which can be found at most truck stops. The max. flow rate is 120 GPH and you can also add a heater to the drain bowl!

The Raycor base & filter assembly can be a little expensive at a dealer which is why I purchased mine (NEW) on eBay for a fraction of what they would cost at a dealer.

Hope this helps !
