Default Brake Line too Short with Lift?

Okay, I might just be worrying like a woman, but after putting in a 2" leveling kit on my 2wd 1500, my brake line seems super tight at full rotation. What did you all do to fix it? And I dont want to buy 125dollar extended brake lines...

heres a pic....

Personally unless there is a way to unbolt the line from the shock/spring tower to gain extra slack then yeah I would get new lines. In the picture is the weight of the truck on the suspension if not think about how much tighter it would be at full lock if the suspension had to cycle up or even worse down. 125$ for brakes I do not have to wory about seems like cheap insurance
