Check their website and the instructions, maybe there is a requirement for backspacing and maybe some trimming that you did not do? Bumpstops not installed properly? Post some pics for us, that usually helps the diagnosis.

sounds like the brake thing is due to your wheels not having enough back spacing.
As for the getting into your rear bumper, if you have the stock bumper i don't doubt it...I have the 4" Tereflex LCG lift and I am not hitting anything (except the rear stock bumper) and i am running 37" tires so you have 2" inches of clearance..
I would be VERY interested in how much backspacing you have...

Are you hitting when you're fully stuffed? Teraflex chit is awesome but it doesn't make you bigfoot. You'll have to do some trimming to make it work right. How do I know you ask .......

Brake line bracket - ya not enough back spacing. I run 37x12.5x17 MTR's on 4.5 inch backspaced wheels (I cant remember how wide the wheels are they are kmc addicts) and I think I am about 1 inch maybe 1.5 inches away from the brackets.

Took the jeep out today def need to do something, trying wheel spacers first then I will go from their. Trying to figure out the picture thing so I can post some, also the rear track bar bracket at some point of the trail ride got into my shock and put a little dent in the shock not a great design but over all extremely happy with the lift.

You need more adjustment. It is the first time I have heard of this happening. It is not the design in my opinion.
For instance my front sway bar links hit my coils at full flex. I know I need to move my front axle towards the back of my jeep a bit. About 1 inch. But I dont want to do this as I already had it professionally aligned (dont want to pay the $$$ so im going to leave it alone).
The links need to be the correct length to work for both axles. In my case I need to adjsut my front axle. In your case you need to adjust your back axle. This is an easy task and id rather have to adjust my back axle than my front axle as the front is complicated with all the steering and caster involved.
Hope this helps. We will get it fixed for you. Dont give up! It is a very very very very good lift kit, just get all the quirks fixed.
Can you tell us what tires, wheels, offset, etc you are running. We can better help you with this info.
