Default brake line relocation brackets

Has anybody had any trouble using their Superlift (or any brand) front brake line extension brackets? The rear ones were cake, but it doesn't seem like there is enough "give" in the stock tube to move it down as far as the bracket wants it to.

I think the bracket moves it down about 2" or so, and I can only move it about half that, and even then the tubing is rubbing the frame and I think that would be bad in the long run.

Longer front lines are definately a future upgrade, but I wanted to use the brackets for a little while. I can't believe how much a couple of brake hoses are.

I had to just take it nice, slow, firm, and easy but they will work. It's a little nerve racking, though, I didn't want to break them. Just be slow and patient.

Do you need to relocate the front brakes? I've relocated my rears, but my fronts seem to have a lot of slack for my 2.5" lift (+ 1" body which has no effect) and 35s?

If I need to relocate the fronts, I'll need to get longer brackets then the rear b/c the frame is "thicker" where the front mounts, the 2.5" bracket I put on rear wouldn't work on front.
