What hoses are you using and can you post pictures of what you did?

I'm using the TCI stainless steel hoses that came with the TCI M2 kit(which I'm pretty sure is pretty much what you have(design-wise and parts-wise). I had the hardpoints so the hoses exited to the rear, and likewise, I could find no way to keep them out of the coil springs(upon full turn). I finally gave up and moved the hard mounts to the front of the truck and I've had no problems since. I don't have any pictures and it may be awhile before I can get you some.
