Question Hose hanging from rear axle, ID please?

Just noticed this hose that's hanging from the rear axle, but I wasn't able to find where it's supposed to go? There aren't any connectors nearby that I could see. Can someone tell me what it is and where it needs to be? 2011 XL single cab.

Vent hose, look on the frame or the lines above it there should be a clip that it goes on.

That was fast, thanks! And now that I'm looking at my photo I think I see a nipple for it up there in the top right. Gonna go back out there and check.

It is used to add air to the axle, helps the truck float if it's submerged in a water/mud while offroad.

That probably isn't the right answer.

Lol, so that's how it works!

Got the hose sorted out. Here's a photo for anyone else that might have this same question:

I thought it was so you inflate both tires at the same time.
