air line question????

ok so i have the bags all in and i was putting the airlines in and i was wondering how yall run yours in the front? it seems the only way is to run them out the hole in the bottom of the crossmember, but doesnt that put the lines in danger of hitting something?? i was thinking about drilling a hole in the rear of the crossmember and just running it out the hole. any ideas would be great!!
thanks

you can run a line out anywhere you want....but if there's any change of the hose touching a metal edge...then use a grommet.

I suggest if you have the air line entering the top of the bag, it will be concealed in the upper spring cup. What I did was drill an adequite hole in the upper area of the cross member, use a grommet and run the line up over the frame rail and then lead it to where ever your air tank is located. I have had mine this way for a year will regular driving and no problems...

That sounds perfect.
