I have the B3030 and I have the top and tilt kit that I am installing for my rear remotes. I bought 2 foot long hoses for both pistons. The top seems totally fine. The tilt cylinder if you point them to the right, they go behind the tire before connecting to the rear remotes. I am thinking actually point them to the left or toward the inside, but wanted to see if there were any opinions out there on the best way to route these lines in this tight spot?

Thanks for taking a look.

Ill be interested to see what you come up with. Im having an issue with mine as space is limited and the dealer installation isnt working well. Terrible location.

You may need to add some 90 degree fittings at one or more of the ends of the lines to make them fit better. Or 45 degree fittings?

I dont see the tilt cylinder.

Two foot long hoses are probably too short to provide an adequate working loop. I expect you will need custom hoses with varying lengths to make it work properly. Given the application 1/4" hose would be my choice.

My gut says use top set of outlets for top link and bottom set for tilt cylinder.
