This actually turned into a pretty decent post. I didn't think it was going anywhere at first. Nice job guys.

more!

that step my tires is on is exactly 30" in the air, i wish i had an rti ramp, i think i could have gotten around 33-35" out of it, depending on how the ifs in the front did

you can see here is the brake line, still had enough slack to extend another 2-3 inches even though it doesnt look like it, so for those of you that are worried about your brake line being to short, i think it will be fine (but its always good to check)

RealJeep, I think you have it backwards. The button on mine to turn off is TCS, traction control.

Nope....You can't turn off traction control. If you're driving a pre-2007 H3 the DIC lists it incorrectly for some reason (this has been delt with in past posts). When I hit 4LO the DIC says "StabSys Off", meaning Stabilitrak Off, which is correct. You don't want stabilitrak taking over your steering while you're in some off camber 4Lo maneuver. However you DO want TC on and as on as it can get! Don't know why GM labeled the DIC warning wrong...

Just pull the plastic clamp out out of the frame and you should have plenty of slack.

that is what i was saying, i thought i was going to have to do that, but i didnt i still had slack left over, even under that flex. i think the factory set the brake line length from the beginning for maximum suspension flex (bumpstop to bumpstop)
