Default Running brake lines after tubular k/upper/lower swap

I've got the swap done and got the calipers and everything buttoned up curious how people are running the brake lines back to the ABS? Passenger side runs across the k member and back up to the ABS but it's already pre bent so it's all funky but I know I can bend it if I have to just seeing if there's a certain way?

Just run it along the bottom of the I member and zip tie it in place. Shouldn't have to bend it too much.

I remade my line from the ABS to the pass side. Ran it on the back side of the so its tucked out of the way.

Also to add, I cut the brackets off the original K that hold the union between the hard line and flexible line. Welded an extension piece to the bracket so it bolts to rear K member bolt.
