popping a tie rod and dropping the sub frame 2 inches will save you a ton of time and hassle. of one the brake lines pass the d/s sway bar bushing cap rear bolt, if your lines are rusty looking you dont want to play with them by leaning on then with a socket and causing them to leak. plus its tight to get that one bolt off.

this pic the frame is dropped a lot for a rack swap, but you can see how th elines match up to the sway bar cap.
