If you go rusty's, get the HD coils instead of the regular 3" coils. I hear alot about the regular coils sagging over time. I run their HD front coils and they ride very nicely, almost the same as my previous old man emu coils.

No, you can bend the hardline down and get plenty of slack for a 3" lift. Just look at the rubber hose and how it attaches to the hardline. Bend that down however you want and redrill a hole for the screw. DONE

I did this little bend too. You can see in this picture where the bracket for the brake line used to be mounted.
