Propane piping around Axle

[calmacpher]

Just bought lift kit from Inland. Getting ready to do it but noticed propane tubing will have to be dealt with. 1974 Sovereign. Any suggestions?

You are saying the copper tubing needs to be replaced?
If you remove it you can use the original as a pattern to make new one and install it the same way.

Mine was flattened because it was routed under the A frame. I replaced it and shifted it away to the inside. Took about 10' of tubing.

The tubing is good. I know that I will have to disassemble the tubing in order to lift the body. I am trying to avoid adding piping, and was hoping someone had experience with this. Ideally I was hoping to disassemble the tubing, lift the unit, and reattach the piping to the body, not having it wrap around the underside of the axle anymore.

I'm not really sure what your asking here. But when I installed new axles on my trailer it was easier to cut the copper pipe and remove just a section of it. Then when I reassembled I added a tee in. Then ran new copper piping to the rear curbside where I installed a propane quick disconnect. It's really nice for my propane fire pit.
