Name that part? Ok, that's Steve.

It's the E-Brake cable and it goes into the lower portion of the backing plate, and there is usually a small spring that holds it up out of the way of everything.

i dont think you need to. unless you do and i've just never heard that. the only lines i know you need to extend are brake lines, not too sure about your ebrake cable.

They are a little tight with the lift so you need to exchange them for the YJ non-drivers side cable from a early 90s Jeep YJ. The YJ had a foot operated e-brake and that made the cable a little longer. You will need some 8mm allthread rod and a coupler to complete the conversion. Pretty straight forward once you tear into it.
