Yours should drop down onto the Diff in the centre of the axle if they are routed normally, this makes for a shorter "flex" in the system.
Very early Jimnys drop them onto the Leading arms.

2003 M13 early KAP build.
3" Trailmaster lift with 1.5 Spacers on front
Customised winch bumper and roll cage
235/85R16 Maxxis Bighorns on 16" Rims, 4:1 Rocklobster, Rear ARB locker and on-board air
Corrected arms all-round, rear disks, Recaro seats and harnesses
i don't see why either the silicone or copper or a mix of the two wouldn't work, only advice I'd give is don't fix them to the leading arm with tywraps try to keep the screw fixing. One of mine had broken and i put a tywrap round it but it got broken on the first outing.
cheers,
John
I used 4mm or 3/16 which ever that they use for some lorry air brakes worked a treat and i re routed it so i dint have to tirap it to the leading arm as both my bols were snapped off in the hole long ago. works a treat never had any problems since.

like john said earlier on in this post tiraps to the leading arm are not the way forward.
