IS this the ABS line? And how do I not make it my limiting strap??!! :-(
Just picked up my JKUR last night! Super excited! It has a Rubicon express 3.5 lift (stock ca) and 37 tires.
Flexed it out to measure things out. Shocks are good to go, and so are brake lines front and rear. But I don't like this other line being as taut as it is. What is it? I assume its some kind of Abs/speed sensor line. How do I extend it?
Thanks!

Yes, that is the abs sensor wire. Maybe you can get enough slack by uncliping (seperating) it from the brake line?
I guess you can also splice an extension into it, but that would make me somewhat nervious. Need a wire of similar flexibility, like maybe purchase an oem replacement wire and use it for your spliced extension.

You can pull some slack out of it by adjusting the rubber mounts at the upper knuckle, you can also bend the bracket a bit to give you more slack. The abs plugs into the wiring harness right behind the frame member and you can unplug it an relocate if you want, just watch that it is not going to catch on the coils.

Cut all the zip ties off and re run the lines, making sure to pull as much slack as possible...
There's plenty of line there if you run it right... Tho what year is yours... When one of mine broke (non trail related) I got a new one from the dealer and found it was much longer than the one on my 2007
