Those who installed their own lifts

I have just about finished installing my pro comp 6" lift with an add a leaf and I am unsure on the front brake lines. I have followed the instructions, and I just do not see the caliper ever reaching the mounting location. Any tips or suggestions would be appreciated.

My left side was a lot harder to install (Fabtech), it will work, but very tight IMO. I plan on putting some SS lines on. You can get the ones from rize for $117.

you need to carefully bend the line and install new mounting bracket for the brake line , new SS lines would be much better

Its kind of a bitch but you need to kinda reach up into the motor and bend up up there too, theres not enough length on em to just bend em in the wheelwell, just make sure you dont kink em obviously.

Also, go ahead and "unclip" them from the mounting points on the inside of the wheel well and anywhere else you might get some slack. I had mine totally unclipped when I did my bending and then when I was satisfied re clipped them in wherever possible. Once you have the drop bracket mounted, they'll fit.
