Default Rear sway bar won't fit with duals...

Just got my rear sway bar from Hellwig and went out to install it. Well, everything fit great until I went to hook up the back drivers side to the frame.
The exhaust shop that ran my duals ran the pipe right there between the shock and the spare tire right where the sway bar has to attach.
I took the truck back up to the shop and the guy said he couldn't run it any other way due to the brake lines on the front side of the axle. Has anyone on here had this problem or have any ideas I might try?. Right now I seem to be S.O.L. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="gr_sad.gif" />

You could just use turn-downs right after the mufflers. I am not a fan of exhaust tips, so I always like that idea.

Looks like I might try a 4X4 brake line back there so I can move it over out of the damn way. Oh and I'm also gonna go look for a non back woods country boy muffler shop too. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" />

A good muffler shop could find a way around it. They were probably just too lazy.
