Rear brake lines and auxiliary springs - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I am getting ready to order new brake lines and was looking at LMC's catalog (not ordering from them, just use it for reference).
They list rear axle brake lines but they say that the lines are not for coil rear trucks with auxiliary rear leafs. My truck has the auxiliary leafs and I was wondering if anyone knew what the difference was in the brake lines?

Thanks

I'm not around my '67 with auxilary springs to confirm this, but here's my best guess:

The auxilary springs are behind the axle and contact two perches that are mounted on the backside of the axle, where the brake lines runs. Could the aux. spring brake lines have a slightly different routing to go around these perches?
