The universal Spectre kits they sell at Pep Boys/Autozone/etc. work just fine, the heater hose diameter is 5/8" - I had them installed in my silver R/T. You can also replace the various vacuum lines with 1/4, 3/8, and 1/2" varieties of the same hoses.

hit up Summit or Jegs and by the Taylor wire loom and the Spectere braided kit. it just slides over your hoses.

The braided hoses are complete replacements, you can't just slip them on existing hoses.

See above - the braided lines are complete replacements with 360 degree braid, they aren't available in a slip-on format. You can get the black/blue/red/white/etc. plastic loom that slips over the top from just about any local shop or summit/jegs/etc. - I paid maybe $3-5 for each bag of black loom, $15 per bag for the chrome stuff.
