    Got the HeadStrong progressive aal and bilstein 5100s extended installed in the rear and noticed the brake lines are touching the leafs. I was told I didn’t need to get extended brake lines by the shop that was doing the install, who is super reputable. Is this ok?

    Check for sale section over here for a fix :thumbsup: @ryan20021982 By the way, extended brake lines are different from the e-brake cables. Wheelers has some nice extended stainless braided lines over if you'd like to switch to braided lines (highly recommended)

    I appreciate the response! Oh so those are my e-brake cables? Shows what I know. I’m a noob! Just saw a cable and my common sense was it probably shouldn’t be touching the leaf pack.

    Yes the problem is when you add the AAL you have to remove the part that the old bracket hooks to, that's why I made those brackets @RyanDCLB posted

    Thanks for the insight guys! I’ll have to grab a set of those brackets.
