Routing of hydraulic line for tilt cylinder

I am getting back to putting my tilt cylinder onto my dozer and can't decide on running the hydraulic lines up the push beams or running the hydraulic lines along the back of the blade and hoses connecting to the tractor beside the radiator.

There isn't really much room between the front of the radiator and the back of the blade as with the bigger cats. I zipped tied the hose in place and when I raised the blade the hose bunched up and kinked. I am also worried about the hoses getting caught on something.

The other idea was to run it along the top of the push beams and run hoses from the trunion area along the lift hoses and connect to a manifold where the lift hoses connect. The main problem I am having with this is there isn't really any protection for the lines when pushing up against a bank and the lines will have to traverse the gussets on the lift connection point.

I am looking for some suggestions and I was wondering what some of you guys have done or seen on other small cats?

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
