What are the common tips/tricks to address the rear brake lines and wheel sensor wiring after installing a lift? Most of the spacer kits (both perch collars and top hat spacers) just come with the spacers and some hardware, and the coilover replacement kits just have the new coilovers... Are there any relocation brackets or longer line kits available, or has anyone devised their own solution to getting a couple extra inches of slack out of the factory stuff?

I’m running a ~3” lift where 1.5” of it is coming from a top load spaced that extends the lines beyond factory. Seemed like it had more than enough slack in the brake and sensor lines at full droop.

if you still want to extend them for the hell of it, get in touch with BajaKits. They have extended lines for their extended travel kit

RC makes a bracket that give a couple inches of slack. I had to add it after installing the Icons.

Digging this thread up...anyone found extended brake lines yet?

Amazing none of the lift companies even mention the too-short brake lines

@kodiakisland - Do you happen to have the part number for the RC product? I’ve searched RC website and can’t seem to find any sort of rear brake extension sold separately. Thanks!

You have to call them as they don’t advertise it separately from their kits, but several of us have had no problem getting one.

Awesome ok, thank you! Just added 1.5” additional lift and figured I might need this now.
