Default RCX 6" lift.... ABS Issue

I put a 6" Rough Country lift on my truck and the abs lines are tight and keeps triping the abs light. Ford replaced front right abs lines and a week later its back on. Do they make longer ones and what can i do to fix this issue. Ford wont replace them any more under my warranty cuz of the lift so i only want to fix it once Any ideas???

^^There's some good tech.

Have you scanned the ABS codes to see that it's actually a speed sensor problem? I've seen the abs lamp come on due to the tires on lifted vehicles being bigger than factory. If they're taller than stock, it will throw off your speedometer and speed signals at each wheel.

I concur with you.It can throw the speedo off.

Just had the problem with my abs the other day after i put 35's on mine.Once i corrected the speedo,and cleared the code,it was fine.So get that checked out first.He could also have a faulty speed sensor that needs to be replaced.Ford is known for there speed sensors to go bad just after 40k.

BTW,Looking good man.
