    I found a decent deal on a 3 cabinet headache rack, but I have a question on install.
    Here are pics of my catwalk:

    Will the location of my air lines be a problem for install?

    Short wheelbase!

    You'll need to break out the tape measure, see if the rack will sit over the air lines.

    Ultimately, running the lines to the rear of the tractor, and connected to the underside of the trailer keeps them out of the way, but not always an option.

    Air lines are fairly easy to re-route.

    Looks like I have the clearance and the space even with the height to go over the air lines, but of course it's in the way of where the legs would need to be. I'll have to get an idea on reroutingbor relocating them first.

    Remove air line bracket and bolt it or a new one on side of headace rack. Rack should have slots for u-bolts around frame rails.
