tires rubbing brake lines
So the pictures are self explanatory, I just had the 6 inch lift done by Outlaw Off Road, its a 6 inch BDS suspension. The tires are 35x12.50R20 on federals. I'm still waiting back from them to see if they can correct it. Any suggestions? I've never even heard of this happening. Thanks guys
It makes a pretty bad noise when I am decelerating or stepping on the brakes

Well, Outlaw called me back and fixed it, they just mounted the e-brake line in a different position and it seemed to work fine, they also put in a spacer and apologized for missing it when I left the shop. No harm no foul. All is working as it should again Major shoutout to the guys at Outlaw Offroad for awesome customer service

I had the same thing happen a 2" all around lift installed(trail master). I had **** Cepek GM7's with Goodyear Duratracs 285 75 17. My back brake line did the same thing. Unfortunately I didn't notice until I drove it for 500 miles, kind of pissed at the shop that installed the lift they should have known and informed me. Anyway the brake line housing was rubbed down to the inner steel. That was almost 3 yrs ago, at the time I had a ford mechanic look at it and he said it's cool. All my major dealer services didn't raise any flags since then either. What I did was get a steel zip tie and anchored to the steel bracket holding my fuel tank in place. I have not had any problems since but I do need some brake work done in the near future and I may see if my dealer can fab a quick fix here. I'd like to go with a 12" wide tire when these duratracs are worn, but won't until the brake line issue is resolved.
