I'm interested to see one also. Mine is lifted but I dont have any brackets to relocate the brake lines. I talked to Jeepin AL once about longer braided lines but he couldn't get the driver side rear brake line ( it's not like others I've seen). Mine comes strait down from the frame to the caliper, Which, if I was to stuff the pass side rear tire and therefore extend the driverside back tire, I would rip that brake line off because its not near long enough. Its a bad design in my opinion to have one rear brake line come down from the frame to the caliper and the other line comes down from the frame to the axel just over the rear diff and then run in a hard line to the pass side caliper. I think i'm going to run new lines soon so I can go offroad without fear of ripping the brake lines off.

I just unbolted the bracket and installed a longer bolt with a long aluminum tube acting like a spacer.

Longer bolt + Aluminum spacer= bracket that is lower allowing the axle to droop without stretching the hose.

I found an actual pic. It is not very long. I might need to make it longer but it works the way it is.

Look/search in the midwest section for "dayton lift party" or the like for picts and my rant. I was fairly mad when I got mine. It was a 1.5" piece of 2x3 box tube that had 2 holes drilled in it, and painted - $30. Ouch. I think you need to drop it about 3" to be safe, but the spacer idea is as good as a $30 piece of scrap box tube :wink:
