Hey everybody, thanks for the responses. The ones my friend at the shop made up are working ok now so I will probably stick with them for now. I am thinking about rerouting the factory brakelines still though. It just kind of makes me uneasy with those hardlines hanging out there in the fenderwell waiting for a stick to wedge between the tire and fender and grab the line. My problem is most likely just the combination of backspacing and swaybar end link length working together with Murphy to give me a hard time.
I'm also considering going to longer stainless steel wrapped brake lines and getting rid of the extension bracket my kit came with. This will improve pedal feel AND give me a little bit more protection from trail damage. It just means a messy day of replacing them and then bleeding brakes :(

So far it clears and fits. I will be doing a test drive soon to see how it handles the relocated hole
Additional things needed so far
Had to additionally drill 1 inch above lower end link to gain clearance even for a 14 inch rod
Had to put on wheel spacers to clear end from away from inner tire. That's with a current 4.5 backspacing rim total of 3.0 back spacing required.
Cannot run end links on inside due to passenger side will contact frame using the currie rear antirock
