Hey guys just wanted to see how everybody ran there brake and fuel lines near the rearend where the lower control arms bolts in..... I can see a hole that is just above the control arm but i dont want to run the lines through it and then have the control arm pivot up and crush them? any thoughts would really help me out thanks

Brake line goes to the middle of the frame then becomes a hose and is bolted right to the differential. Then back to lines out to either wheel.

The fuel line actually runs over the frame and stays near the top to the tank.

i ran 3/8 stainless steel fuel line. i used my old line as a guide to make my bends at the rear frame wheel arch.then the rest of the bends were slight enough i could curve by hand as i used orginal straps as i worked my way to front of frame. 1/4 inch return line was done at the same time. slideing it through the front part of the frame was a tuff part. i used some heater hose to keep the steellines from rubbing against the frame and causing holes in line. just the way i did it graemlins/thumbsup.gif
