stretched brake lines
I'm sitting at Wallyworld getting my first rotate and balance and noticed how stretched my front brakes lines are after lifting the Rubin by the frame. I installed the TF 2.5 BB (with shock extensions) a couple months ago on my 2011 2dr Rubicon.
There are some things I like tight, but not my brake lines. Any suggestions?

There's a reason I went with the most reputable brand (as far as I could tell). Thanks for the quick reply TF Guy. I'm impressed (Gold star for you).
I saw some metal bracing in Lowe's today that I could easily fab to extend the bracket a bit (like with the rear brake lines).
Thanks again.

I took 2 vise grips on a 2012 JK and bent the little metal bracket to get it off the rubber brake line on the front. It gave us enough length for the lift. I have also very carefully took a dremal and cut a slit down the bracket length ways and bent it back n forth to break it to get it off the rubber brake line.

I relocated my front brake lines with this $10 mod. No drilling or cutting required.

Just get SS extended brakelines. I had brackets and they kept getting hit by the wheel at full turn. Then, deep in the woods I ripped the line out (probably from straitening the existing line) and had to wheel out and 10 miles to town with no brakes. I am now running crown from Northridge.
