I know this sounds obvious but just try retracing all your steps to make sure everything was properly re-assembled and you didn't accidentally losen anything. Sometimes I have to do that several times through until I figure out what I forgot to reassemble/reconnect.

I'm not familiar with spring tech.. is that a spacer lift of some sort?

spring tech lift

Ned, that is a spacer and coil for the rear. the kit went in great. good quality stuff. these guys are the same guys that started bell- tech in the 80's.the kits was 251.00 total. i need to find out if any one else has had the same issue with their lift kits . i also think i must have hit or moved something.but i have checked everything twice.. thanks .Donny

just a shot in the dark, but when you broke the ball joint, did you have the castle nut on it so that when it did break, it didnt snap upwards?

if you didnt, it's prob. the abs/vsc wire/cable that broke.. it's a part that's under $50 if i recall..

good luck

thank you sir .. does anyone know if there are any aftermarket longer wires . or could this be hard wired yourself?

simple check, check the fuse under the hood. for the brake. next post ill find the pdf.

check this fuse

fuse

the fuses are fine. just checked again thanks viper

there is no aftermarket or extensions for it.. it doesnt need to be extended... the force or the upper control arm flying up might have torn/pulled or over stretched something.. when i did my lift, it happened to my pass. side because i forgot the leave the castle nut on.. and i got the same lights.. i got a new one from the dealer and it was all good!!

good luck


btw, no fuse was blown when it happened to me.. i used a scan tool to pull the codes and this was what i got.... i'm also running Cornfed 3/2 spacer lift

Do a 'zero point calibration' for the VSC assuming you don't find anything obvious.:cheers:

i only said check the fuse b/c my high mount brake light shorted out and blew that fuse and all those lights came on...i was goin crazy for about 20 min trying to figure out what the hell happend...then my gf mentions to me that my brake lights are out. i come find out that the fuse blew and replaced it and it blows again...pull all the lamps out put in one by one find that one defective. now it works. jst something to check first...simple 30 sec thing that could go wrong.


:bash: hope u figure it out.
