yes
if yo axles drop - they will stretch the flexible brake pipes with possible loss of fluid and no brakes!!

Na daft dint yer know that as long as yer go real slow yer won't ever need yer brake ever again. So it won't matter if yer brake line snaps. also you'll know the instant it happens because the abs brake warning light will flash and the 200 decibel siren will sound. course if they both fail and you accelerate with out realising that you've got no brakes you might be a tiny little bit inconvenienced but it won't be a big problem.

Here's an idea totally off the top of my head. Probably won't work and you can call me stupid. BUT what about extended straps, stupid I know but that way you'll get extra articulation and your brake lines wont be stressed. Problem solved
I'm a genius now where's the nearest patent office.

or he could do what most people do and google extended axle straps. Then he might find something like this http://members.lycos.co.uk/pjboomer/1tonneinstall.html

dont be daft - that means he wud be doin the work - an not you!
i just had a thort - its a series - why not do without the leafsprings an just have bungies - not likely to notice much difference

**** 'ee jest jack up a chassis corner & mek sure the wheel lifts afore the flexi cable is too near to running out of available movement? I dunt got check straps & it int caused me a problem yit..............but I do kinda like having brakes, even going slowly!
