Afraid to do what, persecute? You sound f'in sue happy, get a life. Better yet, why don't you sue them for risking your family's life because I really don't think he's going to. The way things are these days people like you are liable to win any case.

Nate said nothing to get bent out of shape about, let me requote him, "Never let a caliper hang by the hose! If that's any indicator, I'd be very suspicious of their work if I were you." If your lug nuts are tight I think they just made a mistake, that is just about rule #1 when changing your brakes.

Silver didn't you say you chose your lift kit because that's what everyone else was choosing, am I the only one who sees a pattern? As if his first reply to this thread wasn't enough

I just love computer desk jockeys.

You guys who nitpick over every single little detail are the same people who couldn't fix a sandwhich, let alone a vehicle.

Normally I would just sit here and read the ignorant BS to myself, but this thread is rediculous.

This is spot-on. The old lines get tossed for longer SS ones...

*edit* I didn't see steel-braided line thread before this reply.

Why didn't you say something earlier? If I'm wrong (which I'm not, but ignorant to a line change, maybe), then correct me. I'm a grown man of 31 years. Believe me I can take it. I didn't think about them maybe changing the lines anyhow. Good point treatcg. But to bash me for trying to help is just :sigh: Making me out to be a problem on this board is just :sigh: It's up to Cannon to tell us if they replaced the lines. We already know he didn't know they were going to... Crow is a fine dish when taken with some humor. Let's all relax and stop being petty.
