So i was playin with a hydro lift the other day. just to see how i flex without the sway bay installed, and it looked like my brake lines would get in the way, where they drop down off of the master cylinder. did you guys reroute them? any body have a close up pics of this? I just dont want to have to worry about ripping all the lines off the master cylinder!

my stuff is stock and works fine for thrashing in the woods
Are you talking about the soft line from the frame to the caliper? The MC is under the hood. If you are getting close to your master cylinder when flexed post a pic
You can make some sort of a clamp around the shock with another loop for the brake line to run through. It keeps it back away from the tire, but alows the line to slide up and down as the suspension travels. Note use something rubber coated for the brake line to slide in so it doesn't chaff the hose. I'll see if I can find a picture of what I mean.

Here is a picture of what i mean. See the clamp on the shock.
With my sway off I've never had any problems. My lines are steel braided all the way from the frame to the calipers, yours look like they have a sleeve that might bump where it comes off the frame. Can you cut some of that sleeve back?
Thats a nice looking setup you have. Whens it gonna get dirty?

Lots of trucks , and former trucks with no fenders out here . Can't say I ever heard of someone stuffing a tire into the hard lines ( what your post implied in context ) .
Thats not my rig. Thats Steve's truck errr truggy I just used a picture from one of the tech articles to show what I was talking about.
