Dropped Spindle Brake Hose Q

[mercman1951]

HI all,

I have an '86 LWB 2WD GMC, and I am in the process of installing a McGaughy's drop kit on it, 2.5" drop Spindles in front, 4" drop hangers in the rear. Anyway, the new rubber brake lines I bought basically interfere with the upper ball joint once installed. What alternatives have you used that work? I hate to bend the steel part of the line for clearance, and I'm not sure it will work. I was thinking braided steel lines...if so, anyone got a part number(s)?

thanks!
