Thanks one more time Biginboca, doing some more research tonight i found the same thing, and the TF ones are the brackets i have in the back, for the front i have the RE brake relo brackets from their 3.5" kit, it seems i'll have to make the rear diff breather hose a tad longer as well.
Also Thanks everybody for their contribution.

I did the front and rear brackets before i got the lift installed 2 weeks ago, even though they may not be needed with the 25" shocks.
This are the rear ones

I am running shocks in back that are 28.25" /16.9" with 2.5" RK with 2" bumpstops. I am using the same brake bracket relocators with stock brake lines. The only thing that I have issues with at max flex is that the drive line does come in contact with my gas tank skid. It is minor but there is still slight contact. Also remove the parking brake lines from the brackets underneath or you will pull the bolts out when max flexed. also the abs sensor wires etc need to have their fir tree connectors poped out so they don't get over stretched.
