Cut off the existing mount and carefully bend the hardline downwards. If it's too rusty it will break and leak. (this happened to me) You can use some scrap metal to make an extended bracket that frees up a couple more inches of brakeline. If it wasn't so miserable outside right now I'd take a picture for you.

Just go buy a new one for a 96 Dakota, 5.2L, and 4wd. Part number to cross is BH38636. It's like $23 plus tax. Don't be so dang cheap.
