Drop Spindles and worn brake hoses

So, after a lot of time under my truck redoing the front brakes... I noticed that due to the drop spindle (I am guessing), the factory hoses rub along the upper ball joint nut. Mine sits right on it... I got new hoses (haven't installed them yet) but, what does everyone do to keep the hose from getting worn from the ball joint nut? I don't want to bend the aluminum portion of the hose too much because it will crack... any ideas or fixes you have seen in the past?

I have to go back under the truck tomorrow so, I will take pics if it helps.
