Progressive AAL install Q??

I installed a set of 3 leaf progressive AAL from headstrong and removed the OL leaf to gain a 1.5 lift. I removed the e brake cables on both sides as instructed. However, upon removing the OL leaf I also remove the mount hole for the E-brake cable. So now I have a loose cable on both sides with a brake harness jangling around. It seems there should have been a hole tapped on the new AAL for this?? Also if I left the OL leaf in I am not sure I could have gotten the new AAL in as both have the “leaf keepers”?? In the same spot.

 

Did you have to drill out the brake line bracket? I attempted to run the bolt through but was too large for the brake line mount hole.

Is that the rear retaining bracket pictured?

 

Ok. I thought about doing that and wanted to make sure I wasn’t missing something. Thanks for the help!

 

I bent (twisted) my cable bracket slightly with pliers. It allowed it to fit over that bolt better without as much strain. You will see how it wants to be when you try to fit it.

 

I used a zip tie to the other cable bracket toward the front lol.

Also what gen do you have? I had my OL installed with my HS 3 leaf and those leaf keeper things were in difference spots.

 

I have a 2017 OR. I took the OL leaf out because I only wanted 1.5 in rear and I’m going 2” in front. I don’t haul a ton of weight and wanted a little more comfort back there. I looked again last night and see that the OL leaf “keeper” would have cleared just fine. I did however have to cut the large river off the leaf pack bracket as per HS instructions. Worked out well. I was a little hesitant to take a cut off wheel to my new truck. But it went well.
