Since you are on Long Island, you are more than welcome to stop up and see us at any point in time! Just give us a few more weeks to get our new place someone organized.

It looks like when the axle droops the emergency brake cables will bind on the brakes and the gas fill line. Anyone have input here? Also with the 2.5 kit that has the front lower control arms and track bar, you get new front brake lines. On the back it is expected that the existing lines be used. Is there a brake line relocation bracket in the kit? It looks like I will need to let the lines down to keep them from binding. So two issues. Emergency brake cable bracket and rear brake lines bracket.
Any input?
For the rear parking brake cable, we have you removing the wireform that holds the cable to the bottom of the tub! The rear brake lines should be fine unless you are going to use a crazy long travel rear shock.

Oh yeah this is why I am not driving my jeep and wanting the lift. Being patient. Got my new wheels and tires, advertised the original ones on Craig's list and they sold in 1 day. I have a jeep sitting on 35s with no lift. Not rubbing but I am not going to drive it. Looks good but needs the lift.

I was going to get the 5100 for the 4" lift. With the 2 door I should be a little more than the 2.5" from what I understand so I wanted to take advantage of this with longer shocks. Is this going to cause me trouble?

I waited about 3 weeks for my order but it was well worth the wait. The quality and the strength of there lift will blow u away.
