If it's the 4in , your also missing the longer rubber bumpstops in frt. When you flex the frt without the brakeline ext and them not pulling enough slack on the ABS lwires, your gonna have probs. The lift looks good, but they shorted you in areas. I have the 4in Superlift and yours is missing parts.

I didn't get the front brakelines with the kit. I know I need them. The rears are ziptied because I didn't get the relocation brackets with them. I plan to call the local 4x4 shops today to see what I can turn up. I got new bumpstop extensions. I think they got put on the rear and the little metal extensions got put on the front. I noticed that when I looked at the pics too.

You were suppsed to get the metal bumpstops and new rubbers for frt and rear. New brakeline brackets frt and rear aswell. Somebody left some stuff out, whether it's Superlift or the shop I dunno. Wouldn't disco the frt like that though.

Oh no...I know better than to disco the front like that. I got the kit used for a great price. I figured there may be some things to pop up. I just wanted it put on so I could get the parts outta my garage. I plan to call a 4x4 shop in Bossier City in the morning to see if they can come up with the stuff I need to make it complete.
What's the fix for the ABS wires? Does the bracket fix that or do I need to get new wires? If this was a CJ I wouldn't be worried about it at all...parts for those things are in just about any decent junkyard if you know what to look for. I had this put on by the dealership and the manager there told me there might be a few issues with it.

You can unhook the abs wires from the inside of the frame and pull some slack, also at the bottom by the caliper. Slide the rubber mount /cover things outta the c-type mounts and use some WD-40 and pull some slack from where the wires end. The rubber boot things will slide, just gotta use some lube. Just by doing this you can get an inch or two. Make sure you unclip the wires from the clips attached to the brakelines aswell.

So we feel its better to keep the moving flex joint and threads stay up higher. The lower end has thicker wall tubing, and has a maintenance free clevite bushing.

It will work either way on the rear lowers, I just figure I let you know.

Goodluck

He is not far from me over here in Broadmoor. Ken is the one that helped me put my lift on.
