NEVER route a brake line between anything that moves, especially not suspension components!!! You can easily end up pinching, cutting or tearing out your brake line, which will make for a very bad day when you try to stop.
What looks safe when your truck is static, or when you push up and down on the suspension using your body weight, is not what will happen when the truck is under load or hitting bumps and ruts as you're driving.
The Super Springs don't have to be perfectly centered over your stock springs for them to function correctly. You can slide them forward or back a little to help with clearance. Then you can bend the stock brake line brackets to get enough extra clearance... That's what I did.
Also, be sure to check out the note in my original post about facing the forward shakle bracket bolt on the driver's side out so that it doesn't rub or punch a hole in your gas tank. With the hardware I was sent the bolt was so long that if I'd have had the nut side facing in, it would have come in contact with the gas tank as the spring flexed and rolled forward on the shakle roller.
