My picture of a pogo didn't load. You can visit sloantrans.com to see the fiberglass sticks with pass through eye.

I you already have two spring retainers. I would mount one of those spring retainers roughly where the rubber tie down is. Then, attach the two spring retainers about 4 feet apart on the air lines, and twist them to make a short loop. Tie the loop with twine or a couple tiny bungees so it doesnt wrap on a a load that encroaches on the cab.
If something does catch the air lines, the string or little bungees will pop and your two independent springs will have four feet of slack between them. Hopefully enough slack to prevent damage to the lines.Truckermania, UsualSuspect and HopeOverMope Thank this. -
I just replaced mine with the rubber lines, I pull reefers, flatbeds, and chassis with either raildecks or containers. I ended up using a 2 different springs to hold them up on the headache rack, and had to tweak where I had the springs attached to the lines at to get the right amount of slack.

Ok, so how does this look? It finally warmed up a bit and I got my pick up truck job finished. I tried the loop method, and added the red bungee cord up there to help support the weight on the springs.
That little blue coolant line I got wrapped around, I’m probably going to change that to a piece about a foot and a half long so when it slides the lip won’t catch the cat walk.
Only problem I see is maybe that knot getting tighter with enough pulling going onTug Toy Thanks this. -
HopeOverMope and Tug Toy Thank this.

Get another carabiner clip deal like you have. Take the knot out but keep that loop and use the clip to hook it to your existing springs.
