I wish I would have known that, Oh well.

I used the dorman hoses on my first truck, there hoses feel like cheap heater hose (soft and thin), so I slid 1 inch heater hose over them and clamped the ends to protect and prevent blow outs. The hydraulic hoses seem like a bullet proof way of doing it, but it just seemed way overkill and cost...

My option is nice because you can do road side repairs if it leaks and also loop them together if there is an oil leak at the radiator end. I will probably double hose clamp the hose ends just for extra insurance.

I cut my old hoses off at the 1/2" aluminum tubes, then flared the ends and slipped on 1/2 oil cooler hose with quality hose clamps. About $40 in cost, and just time removing the tube to flare it.
