I am trying to run hydraulic lines to rear of tractor. I have a 84" front blade. The lines were installed by jd dealer. When I took the plow off in spring, I forgot how they ran the lines. I have a lot of slack in the lines. Not sure how they should be run for correct clearance

I'd keep them up and possibly attached to the highest points that I could. I haven't seen any recommendations from the manufacturers as to how to do this although we do it for the same reason you have had it done. Just make sure that they are not where it might be easy to catch them on something or pinched. Zip tires have worked great for supporting hte hoses where htey need to be.

I have a similar system n my Kioti and what i did was i added a set of quick disconnects at the point where the hoses meet under the tractor at the loader brackets. I take my loader off to mow and harrow the pasture and i got tired of re-routing the long hoses each time. Now its real easy and no re-routing. I have my hoses all permanently zip tied in place now.
I agree with the testing it at full extension and thru all levels of loader action.

Could you explain a little more? is this a loader mounted plow or a frame mounted plow?
If it's loader mounted, the lines have to run down the arms of the loader, basically follow the other loader lines. That way they will allow full movement of the loader functions, even though you would rarely lift the plow to full loader height.
If it's frame mounted, then there shouldn't be much extra line, will either run the full length underneath or come up along the side and over the rear axle some how.
