You're going to have two options.
1 - go the Tahoe dog route and reroute your lines by switching the orientation of the drum. This requires removing the axle shaft by removing the c clip that keeps the axle in at the bearing. This is NOT a left loosey type job. If you do not know what your doing you are going to struggle getting that clip out.
THAT SAID THIS IS BY FAR THE BEST WAY and it will prevent issues down the road.
2 - you are going to need to route the brake line UNDER a the leaf spring and LOOSEN THE BRAKE LINES A TON to create enough slack. This is if you do not opt for option 1. If you haven't loosened your brake lines, you're fighting up hill.
This should create enough slack to allow you to fit line into bracket and then connect pin to brakes.
You DO NOT need the 3" leaf spring extension mounts. Use the stock.
Lastly: IF you are using a "two bolt" lift where there are only two bolts to secure axle to leafs, there is a way to do it like Tahoe dog and I can tell you how.
