Mcgauhys 4.5/6 drop issues

[Scott76]

The drop went pretty much straight forward, but I have noticed a couple things. The most concerning is that the angle of the stock brake hard line section were it bolts to the caliper has it contacting the new Mcgaughy's spindle right at the upper ball joint. I managed to bend it somewhat so there is a little clearance, but it's still not acceptable in my eyes. I'm guessing I'll have to go to custom lines. Wouldn't have made a difference in my purchase, but it would have been nice to know beforehand.

The other issue may just be with my setup. I'm running 285/40/18 tires up front (27" diameter) and there is around 2" of clearance from the top of the tire to the inner fender. Removing them and making something different is no big deal, but I was of the understanding that a lot of guys were running this drop with this wheel/tire combo or even bigger without issues. Any ideas?
