Extended brake lines ?

[Javin]

Hey on my 81 gmc 3/4 I’m installing extended stainless brake lines on the front just wondering with the extra slack how you guys managed to keep them away from the tires? If you have any picks that would be aweosne

Zip ties, but shouldn't there be a bracket to hold the line? It would help to see it

Some zip tie them to the shock. I have extended lines and didn't do anything with them. They haven't rubbed the tires in the past few years I've had them.
Although I have a '77 and the front brake lines come out at a slightly different place than a '81 I think...

I’ll take pics when I install them, these lines I have defiantly will rub with the extra length so I’ll hav stop zip tie them or put a little spring maybe on them

I think I kinda just spun the caliper once to give it a little bit of twist to hold itself away from the tire. Mine don't get close at all.

Mine came from Skyjacker, from what I can remember. They work great because the lines are separate from the piece at the end. So you can leave the line loose from the end, install the assembly, then rotate the line to where it stays out of the way and tighten the line to the end. They have kept themselves clear of the tire for the last 10 years or however long it's been.
