Have been in communication with rubicon express as to why I am not gettin the flex I should be out of my lift and I am being told my shocks are restricting the amount of flex and to go to shocks designed for a 4.5" lift when my lift is 3.5" and I will get much better flex. But I need to ad new brake lines which is all good and I don't mind getting new shocks either mine are worn pretty good. Here is the question and only thing I am concerned with at this time as I have already cover all other bases what about the lines for the abs going to the brakes. Can u get an extension for those when u are running larger lifts or what happens there so that u don't break that line because even when I had my 2.5" lift in the front that line was tight at full flex. So how do I make it so that line will flexx enough to

 

Bump. ......

 

Good question!!! Bump!!

Pull the ABS line out of all its little connections if you haven't already. It's gives you quite a bit of slack. Haven't had a problem with mine. I have not heard of anyone needing to extend them.

 

You shouldn't have issues if you cut the zip tie mounts that hold the abs/brake lines off. I would look into extending your breather axle tubes (probably an inch or two) if you haven't already as those are prone to come off with more flex.

 

Like MTG has stated, you can disconnect the abs wire at the retainer places and re-install the wire causing it be lengthened. Here are a couple pics to show you. The first pic is where you disconnect it in the front of the axle, The second pic is where you reconnect it it toward the back of the axle. The mounting tab needs to also be bent upward some so the wire clears the axle shaft u-joint.
