    With the brake line positioned higher on the axle, I wonder if I would still be able to rotate the sway up 90 degrees?

    Not sure on that. My sway bar is mounted in the normal orientation. Even with the +3 shackles and trd dual exhaust i had no issues with leaving the sway bar in the normal position.

    Bump @Coachbuilder1

    bought this kit and if I want to install the extension on top of the diff it’s pulling the hard lines up so high I wouldn’t be able to get the side bolts in. Also looking over to the leaves those “holders” underneath look like they would be severely stressed.

    confused….

    I’m running the icon stage 8 so assuming it’s the RXT leaves and on option, so 2”-3” range of lift.

    Any advise?

    Thanks for posting, The arrow shaped bracket bolts to the top of pumpkin and will need to remove the bolts on each side of pumpkin before installing this bracket. just as you mentioned the hard lines are tight and will physically bend the hard lines in order the reach the bracket. after you have pulled the hard lines up you'll need to rotate the metal tabs 180 degrees on each side of pumpkin. this will allow the har lines to mount higher than they were originally. after you've done this follow the speed sensor wire up ( just left of pumpkin ) up to the pre filter box on the underside of bed. there is a threaded stud that is holding the speed sensor wire. the Z shaped brake will allow this wire to drop down and back providing addition length. Hope this helps. Let me know if you need pics.

    YES! Pics of both brackets properly installed would be MOST helpful. Thank you @Coachbuilder1 !! Here are some pics of the way I installed them without instructions. Basically, the side of each bracket that has "Coachbuilder" written on it is facing the front of the vehicle, i.e., when you look at the brackets from the rear, you can't see the Coachbuilder writing:

    Sorry. I know old post...

    I just found out that the place who installed my Icon Stage 9 kit just left everything hanging. Brake line and ABS wires. Didn't even notice it until last weekend. Was going the route to get longer brake lines down the center to the rear differential. But this may be easier and cheaper.

    Is 2 inches of extra length enough though to consider the flexing while going off road?
