There is actually quite a bit of slack in the abs lines if you pull them out of the mounting tabs. I have plenty of room with mine, which I just zip tied to the new brake lines.

 

Odd. When I lifted my '11 Rubi 2dr, we actually had to stand on the rear axle to make enough room to get the new springs in, yes we used a spring compressor-... I had purchased extended brake lines, but we didn't need them, there was plenty of length in the stock lines. I put on a 3" full traction maintenance free with Bilstein shocks.

 

I have the 3" Full Traction long arm lift and I only installed the rear extended brake lines. The fronts had plenty of length at full droop. I just bent the metal mounting brackets that the line is threaed through and removed them. I still have the extended fronts and am going to throw them in my tool bag. They will work on all four corners so it can't hurt to have an extra with you.

 

I thought I was going to have to do the same thing but once I remembered to disco the brake line brackets the rear axle dropped plenty low enough to get my old springs out and new springs in. Did the same on the front but only after I was wondering why the axle wouldn't drop any further and you see you brake line supporting the entire weight of it...oops. Maybe that's why I didn't need longer brake lines up front I stretched them...haha. No spring compressor needed.

 

I'm installing mine today, Crown Extended. I'll try to remember to snap a couple of pictures.

 

yeah I would agree that the drop brackets are a no go. Last year in Moab I snagged one of my break lines and broke the hard line above the drop bracket. then spent the next 6 hours or so fixing the break line. By the way JK break lines are not a common size and it took some time getting the right parts because there is no one in Moab that stocks factory parts for Jeeps. Don't understatnd that at all. And this year I snag the other side and and bent it but didn't break the hard break line. I did have a chance to talk to the Manufacure about the issue and they said that they dont include the longer break lines for the kit because with the all the computer controls for the breaks if its not done right it can screw up the whole break system and that to properly blead the breaks it takes a computer system. Any one else heard of this or had a problem with their breaks after putting in longer break lines?

 

Definitely know you don't need a computer to bleed a hydraulic system.

I do mine every year in the summer.

Gallon of brake fluid, power bleeder, wrench. Rear right, rear left, clutch, front right, front left, done.

 

The only problem I had was trying to get the wife off of pintrest and into the garage to pump the pedal... I bought a vacuum bleeder but it didn't seem to be working so I went to the ol' faithful "pump" "holding" ok pump". No issues for me after that.

 

Any luck? Install/picture-wise lol

 

I wasn't ignoring you..ok maybe a little..

haha. anyway, I didn't get any pics while everything was apart as I was had brake fluid all over and my wife was chasing my son around the jeep so she wouldn't take any either. (ok, excuse over). I got everything installed and bled. I can take a couple of pictures with my camera at lunch if that will work? should be a few hours.
