i was thinking about using a 90 and going out the side of the xmember and right down the side of the frame (still might do this), but as of now I ended up using one of my tubing notchers (glorified hole saw) and drilled out the area in the center of the upper spring pearch and ran the line out the top between the frame and the upper control arm... i could never make my mind up on where i wanted lines and valves mounted lol

Can you drag? What do you drag. I ran copper zip tied to the pinch weld on the body all the way to the front and came in through the wheel well to the engine bay. the only holes I drilled were for the zip ties. you can do it with DOT too. If you can't run along the pinch weld just look for a higher spot underneath and zip tie the s*** up. Just make sure you don't put anything right against your exhuast.

use 90 degree fittings on top of the bags through the old srping cup into the inside of the frame. if you want to run both lines down the same side the crossmember is hollow so you can run it through & across to the other side and then both lines down the inside of the frame
