Anyone install a TF 2.5 Coil/Shock lift on a 2011 Sport 4door? Specifically about the front brake-line and abs lines: the kit didn't seem to have brackets to relocate the lines, but can't be installed otherwise.

Anyone have any solutions?

 

I don't have a Sport model, but I replaced the brake lines when I did the lift. Seemed like the right thing to do. I have heard of others just bending the bracket.

 

I just purchased mine this past week, emailed them to ask this same thing. They told me the kit does come with brackets.

 

Putting mine on next weekend, throw up some side shot pictures along with the brake line shots.

 

When I installed mine this past weekend, I ended up removing/cutting the bracket off the line completely and re-routed it behind the shock. My friend (JKnockers) and I analyzed the setup, and it doesn't look like there are any potential pinch/obstruction points... I'll get pics up tonight

 

Isn't this advertised as a complete lift? Why do I have to worry about my lines now? Lift just got installed by 4WP

 

You don't have to worry about your lines. The kit comes with rear drop extension brackets. You do not need to replace the front's.

 

Comparing my 2011 and another 2010 JKU, the front brake lines are routed and bracketed completely different. To install the the coil and shock, it was necessary to detach bracket from the axle. After installing the coil, shock, and bracket, the line was fully taut at normal stance. It was necessary to leave the bracket unmounted and rerouted behind the shock. The bracket was machine pressed around the brake line, so it needed to be cut off to prevent the bracket from rattling against the shock.

I feel the kit didn't compensate for 2011 changes.

 

I agree with you. I unbolted my brake lines from the frame on my 2011 and have just left them loose until I had a chance to figure out what to do with them. I feel there should have been a lowering bracket like there was for the rear.

 

Since the 2011 have longer front brake lines than the older models, all you need to do is unbolt the factory line down by the coil bucket on the axle. The instructions need to updated for the 2011 models.
