SENSOR CABLE ADJUSTMENT

The brake lines are tight before the adjustment and longer brake lines are not installed but I was able to get the sensor cable to have a ton of slack. There was slack in the front of the caliper that can be moved to the rear for longer droops. I have a 4 inch spring and my droop is awesome. I need to measure it but that is another time.


Pull the connectors off the mounts. The will slide right off. Then you can just slide the long grommet down the wire to create room for droop.


Move onto the lower grommet and do the same.


Reinstall them and you will be amazed with the extra slack.


After the adjustment there is plenty of wire for the droop. The brake lines however will need attention eventually. The shocks will determine how much and that will be addressed as soon as I get them.

I'm gonna try this. I'm doing my brake lines in a day or two, so I'll go ahead and do this while I'm down there.

What size Skyjacker do you have? 2.5" or 4"? I was just curious if there was enough extra for a 4" lift. I was expecting to have to splice in extra wire.

You dont have to splice the wire and I have stiff 4 inch springs. Lots of room for flex with a 4 inch lift!!! I too am getting extended brake lines. Where did you buy your brake lines from?
