Rubbing brake line with tire
So while replacing my calipers I decided to install extended brake lines before I lift. Just went for a spin around the block and during a u turn I heard a strange sound. After inspecting it, turns out I rub the new line on a sharp left turn. Anyone else have this problem and find a way to fix it?

Pretty much. And the house ain't coming for a while... I just had them from my last jeep I think and figured I'd throw them on.
I think I'm going to put some rubber over it and try and use some creativity to keep it away from the tire... What about the shock?

yess springs work awesome for this. I had springs but they decided to jump ship after a few hard wheeling sesh's. Now I just loosely zip tie them so they bend inboard away from danger.

I zip tied mine loosely to the shock with rubber hose around the portion of the brakeline that would be rubbing against the shock
