My truck listed above has a four inch lift and fifteen inch wheels. The front tire rubs on the brake hose when I turn eventually causing a leak in the hose. What can be done to fix this problem?

Install longer lines, tie them out of the way.

This is where you have the auto parts guy pull your hose and lay it on the counter. Then have him pull longer ones with the same ends as yours. Usually a trial and error kind of thing, as you will have no clue what the applications of the longer hoses are.
