Default question about lift

Good morning, I have a 2015 2 door JK 6 speed manual transmission with about 3inches of lift (mostly terra flex with adjustable front lower control arms). I do have extended brake hoses, But have noticed when I put my Jeep up in the air on a lift at the shop and the suspension drops/fully extended down and is hanging the parking brake cables, differential breather hose and abs lines are pulled tight/stretched and have a good amount of tension. What can be done to remedy this issue? I can try and get pictures this weekend if it helps. Thanks

Limit straps. Teraflex makes a set for 2.5" lift. But if you look around you'll find other companies that make various lengths.

Extend the breather tubes, they are just rubber and cheap to do. There is a bracket under the tub that holds the E brake lines. Either just remove the nut and let it hang down or build a small drop bracket to lower it. You can pop the holders loose on the ABS lines and pull some slack out of them or you can cut the wires and splice some wire in there.

You can also reroute the rear ABS lines to take some of the slack out of the axle side and allocate it towards functional length. On the parking brake, a piece of 2x2" square tube is what the "kits" use to drop the lines.

Awesome thanks everyone for the suggestions. I had already taken care of the breather hose but figured id include it in my issue to explain whats going on better. I am going to make a bracket this weekend for the parking brake cables.
