rear brake lines rubbing on lifted jks

So I have a 3 inch lift with the rear brake line drop brackets and it looks like my brake lines have been rubbing the rear shocks pretty good to the point that they have removed all the paint in the contact area and you can see the rubbing on the line. My temp fix is put a few zip ties on the brake line over the rubbing area. Projects it from the shock. A bit harder on the shocks paint but brakes are more important.

I've been looking at other lifted jks and have seen this issue several times. Anyone ever have this issue or have any recommendations? IM thinking of going longer brake lines so I can loose the brackets and some Teflon tape on the shock to help with any rubbing.

I zipped tied a length of that black electric corregated plastic conduit over each brake line. It looks factory and will protect the brake line from rubbing thru.
