alternatives to extended brake hoses

Hi all

What are the alternatives to front flexible brake hoses? Is it just a matter of running a similar set up to the rear? (solid brake pipe running along axle with a flexible line at a pivot point?

The reason I ask this is I am worried about "catching" my flexible brake hoses. I have a 3" spring lift, extended braided brake hoses and am now installing long travel shocks. With 33 x 12.5 muddies on full lock, the brake hoses get very close to the tyre and on Range Rovers, the front brakes are a dual circuit, so there are 2 hoses on each side.

Cheers
Andrew

Use a soft spring and a cable tie to hold away.
