I just finished putting a TGC 2.5 front 1.5 rear on my '11 Avalanche. It looks great. Has anyone else figured out what to do with the rear ABS lines after a 1.5 level on the rear? They will not fit back into the factory mounting locations on the frame without being in a bind? Anyone else have this problem and do you have a solution?

Unplug them from the frame plastic clips and let the lines run direct to the connection on the top hidden part of the frame.

Well if the is too much slack it is not bad as long as it does not look messy or touch the tire.
You can also try disconnecting them from the frame and rotating the part of the sensor that has the indention to connect to the frame clip 180 degrees and try reinstalling it that way.

I've tried doing the 180-won't work. Just thought some on here may have a permanent solution. Right now I have the wire just run through the clip, but when I get wider lug tires I'm afraid they might touch the tire??? You could drill a new hole in your frame and move the clip but I really don't want to do that...

Yea, zip ties were the first thing to come to mind. I just don't like to jerry rig things. However it beats teaing something up.
