I'm gonna install a spacer with my OME 906 rear shocks.
When I was doing the shock install a few months ago I dropped the rear axle down a bit, but got worried that I was going to put too much strain on the brake line. I ended up not finishing the job myself and just having the front and rear shocks done by the shop.
This time around I'm doing the spacer install myself. I'm wondering - how far down can the axle go before it's dangerous for the brake line? Should I avoid having any tension on the brake line at all?
When trying to do my shocks the first time I left the opposite side tire on (as I read in one of the write ups here) and found that I couldn't get the shock out and couldn't lower the axle enough without putting tension on the brake line.
This time around I'm taking both wheels off and using a jack under the opposite side of the axle.
