I need ideas/products to use to secure my SS brakelines. I have the stock tabs welded to the frame in about the same location as stock, but with the shock towers instead of hoops I have no where to secure them so they dont rub on my tires......Ideas??
I am thinking about hose clamps around the shocks with some sort of hoop attached.

A friend of mine used what looked like a version of a retractable-wire key lanyard. I just got a glance at it but I think it was specifically made for the purpose of keeping lines out of the way. Ill look into it.

Marc what about eye bolts? google it, you can get all shapes and sizes. you can drill a hole and screw them in or weld em on? get em in stainless steel to match the brake lines.

When I first talked about lengthening the driveshaft the guy was just going to add spline to the shaft...after seeing my truck and the driveshaft, he is just added tube...so he will balance it.
