That's roughly the way I route it. I don't see why people have to jam two lines side by side when you can do one each way

True... no cutting or drilling and this way the hoses don't underlap the sway bar. We also made good use of a couple of empty bolting points on the engine.

My only concern would be abrasion where the hoses loop around the bulkhead. Maybe wrap some heater hose around them at those points to protect them. Otherwise, it looks very clean.
