    I installed the 3 leaf aal tonight, removed the overload and put it back together. My question is when removing the overload you lose bolt for brake line bracket, so I used the bolt on clip of the aal. The issue is now the brake lines seem really tight. Is this normal. Any suggestions.

    Do not reconnect the brake line bracket. When I tested the droop with mine with the TRD Baja rear shocks and the 3-leaf with overloads removed the droop really maxed out the brake line. Attaching the bracket would easily result in damage to the brake line or bracket at max droop.

    Thanks for the quick response. So did you just remove bracket and the lines are secure enough without it?

    Zip tie the bracket to the next most forward bracket on the line up closer to the frame. The brake line has a pretty thick rubber coating and has yet to seem to be a problem. Ideally I'd reattach it, but for off road purposes I'd also have to come up with a way to extend it so it does not get damaged. Seems ok as is.
