Default Front brake hose routing

I lifted my 90 5" or so. I put the front brake lines off the 2500 Chevy (thanks to this site for that gem) and immediately munched the pass side with the tire. I replaced the line today and used a spring with a couple zip ties to pin it back. I drilled a 7/32 hole (was first sharp bit I grabbed) in the coil spring mount as an attachment point. I had the springs in my hardware cabinet, no telling what they are from. What do you guys think? Better ideas?

I thought of that, but was worried about it chaffing the line.
