Tight e-brake line

I installed the driver's side U-bolts first. I couldn't get one of the U-bolts into the passenger side because the axle was still on the ground and the shock mount was at an awkward angle. Once I had the U-bolts in, I tightened them just enough to draw the axle up so the perch was flush with the shim. The emergency brake line was pretty tight. There was still a bit of play in it, but not enough to make me comfortable. I later decided that instead of replacing the brake lines, I would simply move the splitter bracket back a few inches. There was enough slack in the line between the e-brake lever and splitter bracket to do it easily.
