Brake line thoughts

I just installed my 3.5 in lift this week and it turned out good.....(actually I call it my "awkward teenager" until I get the tires)

I put in longer brake lines and the front passenger side will rub with a full right turn. Any thoughts on how to keep it twisted "inward".

After


Here is my problem with the brake line

I zip tied loosely to my shock so that it can still move without restriction. I know that others may not do that but it worked for me so I don't hurt them when I'm on the trails.

When I installed mine, I manipulated the line so it bent inwards before I tightened. I also use a zip tie loosely around the shock and brakelines as a precaution

The lines that came with my Currie kit had a bend in them to direct it away from the tires. Try and see if you can bend the line a little to give you some more room.

Perfect......I've tried giving it a bend but it just goes slowly back.....I'll was leery about zip tying it to the shock but the thought crossed my mind, I'll go ahead and give it a try and keep a eye on it.

Did you try to loosen the line, spin it to turn it then tightening it up?
