Not really, but I figured why not? I'll find a way of keeping them out of the way.

I had to use cable ties to keep them out of the way. I feared the lines would loop too much under suspension compression, get caught under something like the Panhard chassis mount, and then get ripped out when the suspension extends.

Yeah I'll probably do something similar. Honestly, I'd rather all the stress be on the shocks or ABS lines than the brake lines on full extension.

Tell me about it. That's what made me get longer lines.

haha...I actually remember that photo from a while back. The weight of the axle, as well as the spring pushing it down, there must have been some crazy forces on that line.
