i did my fronts without a bracket. first i unbolted the stock bracket and carefully straightend out the hard line. move the bracket as low as you can without pulling it. then mark out where a hole for the tab should be, and for the mounting hole. drill it out, but dont make the bolt hole to big. go get some self-tappers or sheet metal screws and possibly washers and screw it in. make sure its tight and your good. for the back i used the rear soft-line off a 1996 dodge dakota, its a direct bolt in, the only thing you need to do is zip-tie it the the bracket.

The relocation brackets aren't very complicated. IMO the procedure Jeep Bandit said is better. Getting longer brake lines would be the best.

FYI the relocation brackets would look like this...

Ok. Then I am pretty sure the 96 Dakota brake line will work. But maybe someone else can chime in and conferm. Check the what junkyard parts fit thread.
