    Front Differential Wiring Harness Too Short

    I have a 6" lift with a 3" body lift. The wiring harness barely made it to my front differential when I installed the lift but now that I put the body lift on, it is about 3-3.5" too short. I've researched extensions but they don't seem to exist. Has anyone else ran into this? If you have what...
