Install Readylift SST 3.5" w/ question

Hello,
Wanted to post about my install of my 3.5" Readylift SST kit.

The kit came with coil spacers, shock extensions, track bar relocation bracket, radius arm drop brackets, bump stop extensions, carrier bearing spacer, 5" block and new u bolts/nuts. All the parts are great quality and I really liked the fact all the parts are black and look stock.

I got a hold of a garage with a frame lift and an almost endless collection of tools and full impact setup thanks to Casey aka PSDFREAK. Saturday hung over as we could possibly be, began at about 1 pm.
Install went pretty smooth. The only real pain was removal and install of "track bar relocation bracket."

Ran into a small problem: My ABS line was too short to snap back onto little plastic mount on radius arm and get back to connect. What have others done to fix this proble? Right now, the line is plugged back in, but just dangling above frame.

Got it all installed and put the truck to the floor with little incident. Straightend out steering wheel and we were done wiht about 5 hours of actual work.

The ABS thing is reallyannoying to me. Readylift had no idea I was going to have to deal with this? Or am spoiled becasue their directions were so detailed and colorful?Pics will follow as soon as I can get around to pointing my camera at the thing.
