Get a 12" hard brake line and coupler from auto zone. You can bend it to clear obsticles and add lenght to your line. I did it and it works great. Cost $5.

how much lift do you have on your truck?

As of now, F150 leaf packs in. Soon I will add shackles, and if they are not enough, I will have and add a leaf. (Im putting as superlift front lift kit on) When I put the hard line in, I lifted my bumper until the tires were off the ground, and left plenty of slack then. I let it back down and made sure the line didn't kink. Works like a charm. I can probably post some pictures later tonight or tomorrow if you need them.

Thanks for the help buddy, i went to autozone and got fittings and some hard line. I also bought a bender to get it exactly where i need it. Thanks for your idea. Pat

Be certain and get the correct sized wrench and tighten the $h!t out of those connections. Leaks in that kind of stuff are very bad. I flushed my brake line and got rid of the nasty old fluid while I was at it too. Auto Zone has those benders in loan a tool for free.
