On my main tanks it is about 2-3 inches long. I got the length for the buttplate first, and then moved my front drings based off of that. My front drings are just about an inch from my crotch strap now. When I was not using a butt plate I had no tails/leads at all. I have not decided what I like more. What I did use when I had no butt plate though was bungee for the leads. That way they stretched slightly as I put my hand in to unclip the tank.

I wish that I could find a better way to do it with AL, but I have no ideas. With my diving being in salt water at the moment, the tanks get floaty very quick.
I have given some thought, and some experimentation to using two bungied bottom clips, a front and a back, but that kind of falls apart when another tank is added. It does do a good job of stabilizing things though.
