Rear brake lines rubbing on shocks w/ TF BB
Hey Guys, I've had my TF BB w/ 9550 Shocks installed for 30000 miles, I just took my Jeep in for a yearly inspection and failed. They showed me that my rear lines are worn because they are rubbing on the shocks. I took a look and noticed it is worn down to the wire. They quoted $250 to replace with labor. I took it home as is since they had to order the parts anyway and couldnt do it same day.
I figure I can get some stainless steel lines for cheaper and do it myself. Does everything look right with the way the brakes lines are mounted, they do have the extensions installed as well. I cant really move the bracket back or forth due to the rigid brake line that runs on the frame. For now I moved the lines to the other side of the shock but they still rub.
I suppose If I get new longer stainless lines I can remove the TF brake line extension? Has anyone else noticed this with their lift?
Any advice is appreciated, thanks!
