routing of longer brake lines

I have a good 3ish in the front lift but cant seem too route the extennded brake lines I have with out rubbing am I twisting them wrong
?

Also I am running new install chevy rears with the load spring 2000 miles and still looking up in the front can I take a leaf out and add a longer shackle in the front would that be a good swap too add more flex... I have old school hoops and 13.5 travel shocks
(4.5 down and the rest up) , guessing rancho springs this is all the front stuff
thanks whitie
I have no problem swapping out leaves too make stuff flex

I run my front brake lines through a small spring loop attached to the frame. That keeps them pulled back normally but lets them extend farther under full droop:

Thanks I will reroute bake lines and most likely swap in some thinner leafs and add some more shackle for more flex and lower the truck so I can take out my chevy load spring my next problem is making my x over steering from trail gear not rub . "I think the vee blocks are messing me up"
