TF Lift on 2011 4door
Anyone install a TF 2.5 Coil/Shock lift on a 2011 Sport 4door? Specifically about the front brake-line and abs lines: the kit didn't seem to have brackets to relocate the lines, but can't be installed otherwise.
Anyone have any solutions?

I don't have a Sport model, but I replaced the brake lines when I did the lift. Seemed like the right thing to do. I have heard of others just bending the bracket.

I just purchased mine this past week, emailed them to ask this same thing. They told me the kit does come with brackets.

The front brake lines are different on the 2011's. You cannot bend the tubing up top the same way as previous years.
You must disconnect the bracket near the spring. Some have removed the metal bracket all together. Mine is still on and tie wrapped to the bottom coil of the spring so it doesn't pinch it.. I have not yet made a new bracket for this issue. Lazy to deal with that.

I feel the kit didn't compensate for 2011 changes.

I agree with you. I unbolted my brake lines from the frame on my 2011 and have just left them loose until I had a chance to figure out what to do with them. I feel there should have been a lowering bracket like there was for the rear.

Since the 2011 have longer front brake lines than the older models, all you need to do is unbolt the factory line down by the coil bucket on the axle. The instructions need to updated for the 2011 models.
