I have a 2014 freight liner cascadia and a dry van trailer. Its time to replace the glad handles and airlines. Currently it has 12ft long airlines but wondering if I should get new airlines that are same 12ft or change to 15ft.
12ft or 15ft airline brake hose and why?

A picture would help. Do you slide your 5th wheel much? The Cascadia lines are ridiclously long and not well tended from the factory

Yosemite_Sam Thanks this. -

Get the 15’ coiled ones. I got the 12’ straight ones and it took some time to get them attached just right so I can make 90 degree turns either way. I had to buy extra spring holders to set it up with one long double spring and a short spring. So it doesn’t touch the catwalk.
Id get the 15’ coiled ones next time.Yosemite_Sam Thanks this. -
