Ron is on the right track.
But we don't run wires or brake lines through it. We run the 2 #8 fuel lines (Supply & Return) as well as the #6 air line for the Air Jax. Running the fuel lines in the frame is simply better protection. We use 1-3/4" mandrel bent tubing at each end of the frame rail to curve the hoses up & in ... the way we want ... to make sure they stay away from dangerous stuff.
The wiring is ran under the floor in a 1" open space between the bracing structure & the belly pan. The brake lines use special Stainless AN #3 bulkhead fittings to also route through the front dog legs & rear 2x3 crossmember ... and into the 1" open space between the bracing structure & the belly pan.

I was thinking it might be that but then thought, why would they run fuel lines so close to suspension and a big honkin tire? I’m sure it’ll be protected.

How are the lines secured inside the rail?
The fuel lines are kept away from the tires.
The hoses are secured at each end of the tubes.
