HWH Hydraulic Line hanging up on lifts

My rear HWH lifts (the kind that fold down then extend) have the hydraulic line hanging up on the manufacturers bolts that stick out from the lifts thus stopping the lifts from being deployed. This is a new development on about 10 year old lifts. Therefore, to deploy them, I must take a stick, crawl under the RV and push the lines up and out of the way of the bolts to complete the deployment. Retracting the lifts to lower the RV is no problem. No problem with the forward lifts. Thoughts please.

    I would suspect a hanging strap or tie has broken. Happened with my battery cables, the battery tray slide wouldn't close when the cables dropped behind the tray.

    look at the jack assembly to see if something has been moved. maybe grind off the ends of the bolts. maybe or a wire tie has broken. something has changed to suddenly cause this problem.

    why are they suddenly hanging
    did you do any work under there
    did you run over something in the road that hung up and twisted a line
    did you 'break' a wire tie or hanger that supported the line

    you need to crawl under there and take a good look to see what is now different
