72Blazerock - Do not be afraid to learn how to weld, do brake lines, or anything else for that matter. I have an old fender that I use to tune up my body welding. Just drilled holes, cut seams and practiced. Same with the brake and fuel lines, bought an extra piece and practised. Found out I need to buy a better tube bender. Before this project I had never flared a line. Got an old Imperial kit at a garage sale and again practiced. With the lift the cross over steering will be better. You might look at using a Jeep box, they are the mirror image of a GM unit and mount on the inside of the frame in front of the crossmember, eliminate tire/box rubbing.
