Default Brake lines

Quick question. The longer front brake lines that came with the teraflex kit are a metal braided version that tend to coil one way or another depending on how they are attached between the caliper and hard line. The drivers side is nicely routed without touching anything. For the life of me, I can't get the passenger side to coil correctly and not touch either the tire or shock. It currently is slightly touching the front shock. I put a piece of clear tubing around the contact location. I am hesitent to disconnect and try to reposition it for fear that I will create a leak between the braided and hard line. Can anyone else weigh in...do you think the line touching the shock will hurt anything?

It looks like it is touching in the one photo but there is over an inch of clearence. I have the bango coming straight out of the back put all of the slack past the lowest tywrap in a loop.

Hope this helps.

Wow! Thanks for the response. I will have to loosen the hardline fitting and swivel the line to put a different curl in it. For now it will have to wait due to the freezing temps outside!

Thanks!

Should be fine touching the shock. It does have the SS on the outside.
