Hello everyone,
I started installing my RC 2.5" BB & 2.2 Shocks last weekend (Only got the front done as I was limited on time) and noticed that my brake line on passengers side is really close to the coil and shock (Actually touching the shock a bit) while The drivers side has lots of room. Is this due to axel shift, and is this what any of you have experienced? I don't think it is going to be a problem, as I can't see where the brake line would get "Pinched" anywhere, but I'd feel better about it if I had a little more room. Other than that I'm really pleased with how easy this lift is going in. Funny thing is, it took me longer to get the Jeep high enough in the air to get the 6 ton jackstands under frame than it did to install the spacers and shocks. I've also been upgrading the hardware to grade 8 just for peace of mind. Was going to do the rear and wrap this thing up this weekend, but we've got sleet coming down now and 6-10" of snow on the way, so I guess no wrenching till next weekend when it's supposed to be back in the mid 70's! I wish I had some pix to show you how close the brake lines are, but unfortunatly I have'nt taken any yet, and due to the weather it'll have to wait till I'm done next weekend.
Thanks for any thoughts on this clearence issue.

 

The brake hose should be about an index finger width away from the shock.

You can use a pry bar (crows foot) on the bracket that attaches to the frame.

Do not grab the hose and pull. You could break the seal where the steel line is attached to the block on the frame.
