Well time to wrap up the rear end rebuild with some longer parking cables:
Added a threaded coupling nut:
Reattached Bracket
Routed Lines:
Loop & Clamp:
You may notice I cut the recoil springs down to reuse, there supposed to assist with the return.
Here it is in use (compressed):

No, I don't lick fish.
Hey what cables did you use? I noticed when I was putting the lift on the rear in mine that the cables seem to be at just about max length without articulation.

Well I started out by replacing my Upper Radiator Hose because I saw it had a leak.
Unfortunately I also had to replace my T-stat housing to because I cracked it in the process.
That didn't fix my problem so a little digging determined the Radiator Tank had a crack...
On to the repairs:
I pulled the header panel so I had more room to work:
Fan shroud out of the way, the radiators ready to come out:
Replaced my 5 year old water pump just because:
New Water Pump & ZJ Fan Clutch in the fore ground:
When I pulled my Old Fan Clutch I could see oil residue indicating it was bad.
