    I recently installed a 3-inch lift with JBA upper arms, I was concerned with how tight the wheel speed sensor wire harness is. When jacking the vehicle to rotate tires or whatever, there is a lot of tension on that harness so I'm guessing there must be a fix or a mod for this??

    I believe I just broke the wire coming off a curb when the wheel dropped, 4wd, trac control and abs lights came on immediately. I haven't confirmed yet but I'll guess I need a new harness.

    Thanks in advance for any help

    It shouldn't be tight. Maybe it's not routed properly? In this photo with a full 3" lift and at max down travel (where the JBA's actually hit the coils), you can see that wire is not tight at all.

    Did you have a shop install the lift and UCA's?

    Perhaps they didn't give the ABS sensor wire enough slack upon reinstallation.

    Wow, that looks fine, not sure why my wire is so tight, and it's very tight right below the upper arms on both sides of the vehicle. I ordered a new harness, I did confirm with an ohmmeter it's broke so when I get the part I'll make sure it goes on properly and I hope it looks like yours. thanks for the pic

    I did the install myself so maybe I screwed up but I'll pay close attention when I replace the harness
