Default front brake line and lift help!!

Hi! What do I do with my front brake line bracket that was on the shock perch? It says to reroute it between coil spring and shock. But how do I secure it? And it stays in the bracket right? The metal part is still attached to the lines

Default Brake Line Bracket

Your kit should come with a Bracket Relocation Spacer.

I think this if for the top portion that bolts to frame.

or do this.

I used Steel Braided Lines and zipped tied them.

I used a Stanley 3" T- bracket with pre-drilled holes from Lowes. Bolt T cross section at original mounting location and bolt brake line with original metal mount onto T bracket leg. Bend over with hammer the other T leg to stabilize bracket from moving and zip tie around brake line to lower shock this part of shock is stationary.
Brake line stays clear of coil spring and harms way, I've done plenty of wheeling with full articulation with stabilizer bar disconnect and no worries.

Remove the bracket with a pair of pliers.

I just bolted it back into place. It doesn't look like anything will happen. There seems to be enough slack. Thanks guys.
