Hey techs, I just stuffed on a suspension lift, I was very careful. No rear leaf ABS issues.

The front left had to remove the ball joint, I rested it on a 4x6 and all was well.

The front right I hit on the A arm and it fell right down. It stretched the ABS line, I could see the diameter shrunken. I tossed it on a 4x6 block as well. However, I may have done some damage.

This was the ONLY suspension ABS dealings at all.

Now the ABS light is on and the left front tire locks up so I think my mishap on the right side probably caused this.

They seem like vacuum lines but there must be a wire in there or something, can't imagine it works of pressure or vacuum.

Any suggestions would be super.

THANKS!!!!!!

It is electrical. If the ABS light is on the whole system is disabled, not just one wheel. It's going to be like driving a car with non ABS brakes, I disable mine on all of my vehicles, I HATE antilocks. You probably damaged a wire or connection if you over stretched the right side. Check the wiring and follow it to the connections at the wheel.

I tend to agree with a stretch and snap.

Yeah, I checked for exterior damage and there was none......... Truck "Get it Raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaag!!"

The right side must have a juice issue.................
