Default brake/abs line routing help

i just installed 3" teraflex lift. I noticed today my tires rub the abs line and brake lines at full lock.( FRONT OF JEEP)But if you tuck them away, there is not enough slack under full flex. I have the brake lines bolted on the caliper with the line running towards the back of the jeep. I was told to zip them up but the slack under flex makes me nervous. Any help or pics of your setups would be great. Pics would be best.

I put extended lines on mine and I noticed the same rubbing at full lock. The outer plastic coating was already rubbed through on one side. I couldnt figure out a good way to tie them off either; so I just split some rubber fuel line I had laying around and zip tied it to the brake line. I figured this would at least prevent any more wear from my tire. When I was at the PA Jeeps show in york I checked out Claytons jeep and their lines werent tied off to anything either, I didnt really look for any rub marks though

Default TeraFlex brake lines seem to be rubbing tires!

I just installed my TeraFlex extended lines that came with my FullFlex 3" this week, and now as I'm getting ready to head out the door I notice that they're rubbing on my tires, too. SH#T. Can't really see a good way to get them out of the way. They're installed with the lines pointed to the rear from the caliper... Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks!

Solved the rub with a loose ziptie holding the brake line close to the bottom of the shock. No rub that I saw, even when flexed.
