This happened at the beginning of the second drive after replacing coils, leafs & springs (they were HD version OEM springs from Moog & Crown, plus JK Rubi' shocks) ...which resulted in a little more than 1.5 inches over stock height ...but that was close to 3 inches plus over where they'd been).
The suspension was worn out for so many years, it might have put just that much stretch to the cable.
Cool.
...I will do this later this afternoon, and report back.

In my experience, Fiberglass body panels ALWAYS fit like **** and are hard to work with.
IMO, not worth the hassle.

98 xj front end issues
my friend has a 1998 jeep xj 150,000 mi auto that was having some work done on and the mechanic pointed out a problem to him.
the problem when you turn the wheel to the left and right the front end moves about a inch to the left and right. when driving the steering is a bit sloppy with some play, but no crazy noises or death wobble.
i think that the lower control arm bushings are bad, but the mechanic told him that everything in the front end was shot this same mechanic also told him that it doesn't have control arms that the control arm i was pointing at was a stabilizer.
what do you guys think?
