    I did, but its still touching, I'll need a second hanger.

    I had to get this lineset. I broke 3 of the plastic ones last winter in -10 weather.

    The answer is so cheap and easy, just stretch the frame! Lol

    For a temporary fix, just source a bungee strap and feed 1 hook thru the black wrap and hook the other side to the grab handle thats up top on back of the cab. Should be able to atleast get it off the catwalk for now

    Do as you wish but really you should just find a way to hang it.

    Eventually it's just going to wear through anyway, or you may have a problem with some officer somewhere, so the easiest thing would just be to make it hang whatever you do.

    Two hangers, and maybe even a short spring between the two, keeping it away from the unit. If I were a DOT Officer. I’d write a ticket. Merry Christmas!! Lol. I see a lot of lines laying on catwalks. I wonder how they get away with it. Used to be a big red flag.
     
    Dino soar, ducnut and Siinman Thank this.

    You've got the extra slider bar up high, use it. Just get the spring type pigtail holder.
