    Have you installed everything yet? Just ordered the lines, next I'll have to grab some calipers.

    My mistake. I overlooked the link you provided, however I have looked into it and made additional purchases. Now it's a waiting game. Thanks again!

    One tip when installing the brake lines... DO NOT over torque the bolts that come with the Wheeler's kit, as you can break the head of the bolt off.

    I was using when a torque wrench when I did it and went to get just a little more out of it to check it and when I did, I went too far and the bolt head broke off. I had to wait on replacement bolts, and when I did it the second time, no issues. Been running that way for about a year now and have had 0 issues.

    Just FYI so it doesn't happen to you. Use a good torque wrench and stop when it clicks. haha
