I have a Teraflex 3inch lift installed on my Jeep. I have never liked the way my brake lines look after the install with the zip ties. They are extended brake lines bought from Northridge. Here are some pics, if you see something wrong can you please post or post pics of yours. Thanks!!

Odd that they are zip tied to the shock. But maybe that's because your lines seem a little long. Don't know. Mine just hang out of the way. But from the looks of it, should work fine. Have you flexed it out like that yet? Just make sure when fully flexed, nothing is binding or pulling on your lines.

I just had them hanging and I ended up replacing both of them. The tires rubbed through and I had no brakes. Luckily I was in my driveway when it happened.

That sucks. I check mine periodically and so far no signs of rubbing on my lines.

Did your kit come with bumsptops? when parked I have like 2 1/2" till the bumpstops hit. And when I checked it out today it appears to be bottoming out. maybe need a spacer. anyway..I think u should make a metal bracket of some sort--don't zip tie
