Yes and no, front brake axle to frame soft line should have a square block on each side, the axle side is bolted to axle breather bolt, the frame side is bolted to the frame and the hard line then goes into it. That looks like maybe a rear soft line. In your picture that bolt just forward of the hard line is where it looks like long ago it was bolted, you can see the shape of the block in the paint. I actually think it should be the spot where the cable clamp is though. Looks like someone before you used that cable clamp as the line clamp instead of the double sided block soft line.

It will work as you have it, using that cable clamp to keep it from moving around. Using the double sided block front soft line keep the parts to a minimum.

Odd, that is the extended front line that came with the JBG lift. I used the line clamp and it's nice and tight. So what would those 2 bolts have been for? Thats why I was assuming a bracket like the rear.

Yes there is a braket that holds the two lines from the MC to the H block. I just took bracket off to do the hydro boost. I can take pictures tonight if you need them.

I don't have that bracket either, but that would be on top of the frame rail. This bracket in question is below the frame to connect the front mc hardline to the flex line going to the axle.

The one I'm talking about does mount to the side of the frame. Not the one for the H block. I'll post pics later when I get home.

Here's the one I was talking about. It still has the lines up to the MC, and the H block.
