Need help with a lift install

I am Having trouble with the 4"lift install.
according to the directions, I install the springs in the front first. Bolt them up and then add the drop brackets.
The angle seems to be too steep for the u-bolts to go together this way.
Should I drop the entire axle per side to do this "Evenly"
Also, do I need to relocate the brakeline from the frame location to under the frame?
Kit came with new brackets but its pretty poor on the instructions on how to use them.


This is on a '94 F250

Sorry I'm sure that you have covered this somewhere but I can't seem to find it.

I would remopve both front brake calipers and drive shaft and put em up outta the way, then completely drop both front axles (TTB right?) then swap the drop brackets in, then the springs, then the sway bar extensions and then bolt the axles back in place and re-attatch everything. Good luck!
