That makes more sense,currie adds more beef on their housings
Seems like my only option is to stick with the Currie cover since it’s a Currie axle and then figure out how to get it to clear the track bar which is still a problem. I know most people have said put extra bend in the track bar but I have yet to purchase a 20 ton press. Sticking with the Currie cover at best all I will get is 5-5.5 inches up travel.
Could you route the airline up and on the right side of the bearing cap and cross above it to the fitting? Seems like that would get it out of the pinch zone if you have it back in that recess. For the bottom, let it self clearance or take a grinder to it and bevel it.
I will look into that tomorrow when I have more time. Maybe I’m wrong but I would think the guys at Currie put the lines where they work best

They’re going to route them wherever is fastest that they don’t think will cause warranty issues. Time is money in production.

My .02c. If the Barnett cover gives you the clearance you need for uptravel then maybe you can reroute the air line like @Abendage mentioned, over to the right and behind so it doesn’t have to cross the bearing cap.

My 2 cents. It’s copper, it’s a little crushed and works fine so long as the line is not completely collapsed. Play around with it. Move it up and install the cover a few times until you find a place that it clears both the cover and the bearing cap. The cap has a curve to it. Move the line upwards in the curve until you find that sweet spot that the line is not rubbing anything and the cover clears.
When you are Dealing with ARB and air lines it is a tale as old as time when it comes to finding a path that will not crush the brass and create an air leak. That was part of the fun. Finding the sweat spot for that line.
If it bothers you that the line is bent, order a replacement.
That smash will not affect the transfer of air to the locker if it has not closed off. It might make you feel better knowing it’s round, in that case order a replacement.

You might leave the bolts loose and push the cover to the passenger side. There might be some wiggle room.
