Default Any line locks with ABS

Wondering if anyone has installed a line lock on NNBS with ABS. I would like to install one for the front wheels, but almost every kit says that they are not designed to work with ABS. Has anyone done this?
Thanks

ABS will throw a fit but mechanically it's locked in so it won't matter.

Most people here install them "backwards" and basically disable the rest brakes instead of locking in the front brakes. Just don't forget to disengage it after the burnout.

Thanks for the info. I just need to decide which method works best for me. Lock the front or prevent pressure from reaching the back. Sounds like the rear would be the way to go. If I decided to go with the front, would this deteriorate the ABS in the long run?

I wouldnt think so and I have never heard of issues with it. You could always pull the fuse before going to the track if you want.

Default Line lock

I put a line lock in my 2000 S-10 in 2001
on the front brakes, works great. never had
a prob with the ABS to this day. going to put
one in my 2010 Colly in the spring. I spliced
into the line coming out of the MC going to the ABS.

Default Little help

On a 2013. Which line on the master cylinder send pressure to the front wheels. I have seen info on older models which it switches back and forth, depending on year, but can't find any block diagrams for a 2013
I have mine hooked up to the front line, wired up. I can hear the solenoid activate and I get the light for power sent to the solenoid. It doesn't seem to be working properly. I'm not getting any ABS lights so I don't believe the ABS to be causing the issue.
Pretty sure I'm on the wrong line but want confirmation before I start cutting lines again. Thanks for the help.

I can't get you a diagram but you could just jack the truck up and do it the old fashion way.

Apply the line lock and brakes and go spin the tires, then you'll know exactly what is working and what isn't.

I installed it before the ABS and I don't know what does what. Don't believe what I have now is working correctly. Feels like it's working against the brakes. Guess I'll just have to rerun the lines, but I'll give it a week or two to see if anyone else has any input.

Default Fail

Well I just confirmed what I was thinking. I had the truck on jack stands. The front line on the master cylinder for a 2013 Silverado CC LTZ supplies pressure to the rear. Looks like I’m cutting more lines.
