Just installed lift now brakes don't work properly
I just installed a spindle and shackle kit on my 07 ranger sport when I got it all said and done I jumped in the truck to take it for a spin and the abs light is on, the breaks work fine when going in a straight line but once I turn I have nothing, I have to pump the pedal 4 times to get it to stop, I looked over the lines and there's no leaks or pinches , my only concern is those sensors that mount in the spindles the after market spindles wouldn't allow them so I zip tied them up, any suggestions? Could it just be those sensors behind the rotors? Has anyone else had this issue?

The issue is your abs sensors. they MUST be in the spindles. also be sure to space them with a washer on the bolt, otherwise the rotor will remove them forcefully. if your spindles dont have a spot for them, take them off and send they back, because they are the wrong spindles. let me take a shot in the dark and say you bought pro-comp or fabtech....
Hole for abs sensor:
Sensor installed and spaced properly:
also after about 500 miles, re torque EVERYTHING.

Well I got the sensors in there was a spot but it wasn't threaded like the oem I had to run a longer bolt I also had to drop my brake line I noticed at full lock it was maxed out it probley wasn't that big of a deal if I didn't have my torsion bars maxed out I'll post some pics shortly after i get back outside , I need some 35"s for sure and I don't even have a body lift on there yet
