Issue with lowered spindles and brake hoses... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I purchased a set of brake hoses from NAPA a while back. I have since installed 2" lowered spindles. I've just replaced all of the front hard lines and when I went to hook the front hoses up to the hard lines the hoses have less play than I would like. I'm worried that it will tear the hoses when I hit a large bump if I leave them like that.

Has anyone else had this issue and if so how did you resolve it?

Thanks.
