BL Extension
Ok guys well I've got everything done on my lift EXCEPT for the stupid brake line extension. I just do not understand how it is supposed to be done, and th picture in the installation guide makes no sense at all.
Also what is an E-clip, and where is it located?
please

the bracket you got just drops your brake line and bolts to the old bracket where your line is located at now if you are talking about the rear which im asuming you are it just bolts on to the bracket at least on my RC lift thats what it did any more questions post a pic that will help

Sorry for not telling you guys, but yes I am talking about the back. So I am supposed to unbolt the rubber brake line hose from the bracket where it meets the metal?

In the rear I just went down to the auto parts store and droped 20 bucks on a new line. 95 YJ line is a direct bolt in for 3" more length over stock. Or if your running a bigger lift (5" +) a 92 Dodge dakota line is 6" longer. It's a better way to go in the long run.

Don't feel like messing with putting in a new brake line..
Breaking steel fittings loose, and then there's that hassle of bleeding...
Check out HSP's Brakeline Extender

Second item down
Bolts between the brakeline and the axle.
Several members here are running them. Includings yours trully.

A bracket extended is a half-assed way of doing things in the first place. A longer line is a better idea. Not to mention if your bracket and clip are corroded in the first place, you may have some problems getting the lines apart. I ended up breaking my line off last time and having to reflare it.
