I have the extended rear flexible brake line that should be good for a 4" lift (Dorman H622071). My questions is: what did you guys do with the mounting bracket in the middle of the line? This typically mounts to the lower control arm, but we now have round adjustable arms...

Should I make something to clamp it back to the arm, or just pry it off the line? Seems slightly over-constrained when I move it over to the arm. Ideas, pics?

Thanks
 
I made clamps to secure the OE brackets. When the pinion will be rolled upward I intend to remove the hard bracket(s), install longer brake hose, and secure with tie-wraps. I may or may not let the P-brake housing roam free.

Sorry, I don't have images of the clamps specifically, but they're sort of visible in the background.

I'm in the middle of installing adjustable control arms, and didn't anticipate that I'd have to do something with the rear brake brackets after the stock control arms came out. Looks like your simple mounting bracket does the job!
