I used the relocation brackets that came with the kit. if you use the brackets and straighten the hard line you'll have plenty of brake line at full flex. I'm assuming you got the short arms right? if you went long arm ignore this post.

Ironrock offroad sells all 3 brake lines in a kit. Look at their website, they show the actual lengths of the longer brake lines they sell.
