Default brake lines
Extended brake lines are rubbing the back of the tires. What are you doing to hold them back?

Mine had a natural bend to them to make a U shape, so I just rotated the connection that goes to the hard line and it pulled the brakeline away from the tire.

Saw a pic a while back using a cheap spring from the hardware store. One end on the middle of the brake line, the other in an existing hole up on the frame. Looked like a decent idea.

I like that idea...Want to becarful of putting them in a place that they won't flex with the lift or be riped off the jeep. A spring gives them room to move but holds them back
