Icon Stage 2 Lift on 2nd Gen

Hey guys/gals... Looking for some suspension advice/general questions (newb on suspension stuff FYI). I have a 2014 DCSB TRD OR. I had a leveling kit on it (would def listen to the million people who caution against them and say don't bother, too rough of a ride). I just recently got a Stage 2 Icon kit installed. I didn't do any aftermarket UCAs. We took out the overload spring in the rear as per the instructions.

Just a few random questions... First, the guy that installed my kit left the brake line brackets loose in the rear (see picture). He said most people just leave them off, and he can cut them off, but they are best not reattached as they'll just do more harm than good. I want to confirm that. I did zip tie them for the time being since they were clanking around all over the place and driving me nuts.

Second, my front coilovers appear to be touching the front sway bar. I know there's a sway bar relocation kit out there. Thoughts on if I should bother installing it? I don't hear any noise from the touching. I also heard that there may be some sort of top plate adjuster on the coilovers that can slightly re-adjust to prevent rubbing. Will it do any damage if it does rub or touch? (As a side I don't want to remove my front sway bar, too cautious of a person to do that)

Third, I don't have remote resis, and just curious if it is something you can add later if I decide (looked like my shocks had a connector, but not sure). I honestly don't do a lot of wheeling, and it's pretty mild stuff, I just go down some washboard roads for longer distances when I go camping etc. I've read the benefit of resis is obviously more fluid to help the shocks stay effective for longer periods of time. So I could benefit if I'm doing a lot of long trips over rougher terrain.

Finally, I did the AAL with the Stage 2, and like I said, took out the overload spring in the rear. Will my towing and hauling capacity be affected (for better or worse) in any way over stock and/or over a 1.5" block? I tow a trailer here and there, and just curious if I can expect it to sag now.

 

how Much lift did you get with the kit? What size tires you running?
