could someone here please show me a picture of a "legris" fitting

I think Legris is just a manufacturer name, not a type of fitting. I think you mean "push-to-connect" or "instant tube" fittings which are commonly used on air suspensions.

ok got another question then, can these types of fitting be used with hard lines stainless or copper? i have the plastic lines but i would love to bend stainless steel to helpclean up the undercarriage and get rid of the headahe of melting a line

The fitting shown has a push on tube connector and the other end of the fitting is national pipe thread(npt). If you want to use ss hard line then use something like Swagelok compression fittings that have the correct ss tube size and npt. You do have to use a flexible tube or hose whereever there is connection that is subject to movement from a stationary point. (ie. engine mounted compresser to the frame or body).
