Brake line clearence
after installing my Crown extended lines i noticed that my rear driver side has more of a kink off the banjo bolt compared to the others and it cause the line to be alittle closer to the tire than i like, yes its alittle twisted still i need to spin the caliper alittle but its still angles weird, anyone else notice this? any remedy's for more clearence?

Two thoughts:
1) Do the brake lines have an equal but opposite angle? Like does the other side angle towards the tire too or does it angle towards the vehicle. I would say if they were opposite then switch them so that they both angled in towards the vehicle rather than out.
2) Do you have sway bar link interference with the tire? Just looking at your picture, it looks like if you stuffed the tire, the sway bar link would come up and hit the tire. Mine did. So I mounted the link on the inside rather than outside, but then it was hitting my hard brake line. So fixed that but now the link end hits my frame rail. FML.
Good luck!

The sway bar link hasn't hit anything yet. From the pic at an angle it does look close. The line is twisted a bit but it's not the biggest issue. The metal part where the banjo fitting is attached is angled back towards the tire. It has the most "bend" compared to all the others. Switching wouldn't do anything but move the problem to a different tire.
