I have the three link and disc brakes. Can anyone post a pic on how they ran their rear lines?

Come down the outside of the LH round tube then turn up the 2X3 rectangular tube to a "T". Branch off one side to meet flex hose running to the LR wheel which is held to the chassis in a mounting tab. Cross over to the other side with steel line and join it with the similarly mounted flex line for the RR.

Another alternative is to do a jumper line onto the axle housing and then route the lines to brackets near the axle flanges where they transition to flex lines to the calipers. These pics were to show other things, but you can see the chassis hard-line terminating in the Mustang donor bracket in the first pic, as well as a portion of the flex line that goes to the rear axle housing (look for the junction block in the lower left of the pic). The second pic shows the bracket that is mounted to the axle tube on the driver's side (passenger side is the same) where the hard line terminates and then a flex line goes to the caliper.
