I went wheeling this weekend to see how the new arms work out. They definitely give me more flex. I wanted to get higher up the rock, but I ran out of traction with the open diffs.
While reviewing the flexing pictures, I noticed my brake line was very close to being fully stretched. Thankfully, I ran out of traction otherwise I may have sprung a leak. I'm planning to either replace the lines with longer extensions or bend the hard lines and relocate the bracket (I haven't decided which as for some reason I don't like the idea of bending the hard lines).

Chevy 1500 brake lines are worth the $12 each...it's worth the safety of yourself and others if you hadn't already damaged the original lines already...
