The stock rear upper control arms contain a bracket which is used to mount the rear break lines. I am about to install a set of RE RE3783 control arms that does not contain this bracket, what do I do with the brake lines? I check the RE web site to see what their lift instructions state and couldn't locate anything.

Rear brake line(s)??? There should only be one rear brake line with a flex hose from the frame to the axle housing.
Are you referring to the rear parking brake cables? You could zip tie those, if they do in fact run along the control arms.

Yup that sounds right... only had a couple mins look at the stock control arms. Figure I should ask before tearing into the job.

Chris make sure you never sieze the threads on the Ca It took me 1 hr to unscrew 1 control arm that was with a 4 foot pipe wrench and a 2 foot pipe a 1/8 or a turn at a time It will save alot of time
Those are the CA I have The lowers I got a grease able joints on both ends I took of the rubber bushing end and bought a whole nother end from RE that screwed right on It is a firmer feel when you hit the gas on pavement The rubber bushing was lasting me 8 months to a year when It was my DD
