My setup on the back of an FLD same as yours. I had to replace a control valve to the red air line and when I put it back together put the blue and red exact opposite of what they need to be in the hanger part. My 7 way cord is rubbing the cat walk too. Need to swap that around and pull the lines thru it to fix that, but you get the idea. These are just the cheap plastic type air lines. Not sure what length they are but that's how it's attached to the back of the cab anyways. It doesn't rub the catwalk or hang on anything when properly set up.

This is the way the line was attached when I bought the truck. Previous owner pulled a van.
I pull a SD. I have no problems and the line doesn't drag on the catwalk.
My previous truck was plumbed the same way.feldsforever, Crassius, Dino soar and 1 other person Thank this. -
The set I got a year or so ago were a tad long. The way I hang em is in a low arc about 6" from the catwalk on the trailer up to the springy thingy. Then mine drop down from there and are coiled up once on top of my left tank before they attach to the cab. So far, not a problem on inspections. There is no place they can chafe the way I have em.

This is how I run mine. Both sets are 12 feet. Both sets can go beyond 90 degrees
