Default 97+ Extended E-Brake Cables?

I see that everyone says to use (2) 91-95 YJ Passenger side E-Brake Cables for 96 & Down XJ's

But what about 97+ XJ's? Can you still use (2) Passenger side YJ cabels?

I know 96 and down XJ's use (2) E-Brake Cables that are the same size but on the 97+ the driver side cabel is alot shorter then the passenger side.

Just would like to know what extended cabels can I use for my 99XJ?

Right now im at 6.5" of lift but will eventually redo my lift and will be at 8" of lift when finished. I would need extended E-Brake Cables that would work with 8" of lift.

So for 97+ Use only one YJ Passenger side cabel on the passenger side of the XJ,.. And take the stock XJ passenger side cable you take off and stick it to the driver side? Would like to know if that's what everyone else has done for a 97+. Cause I had already ordered (2) Passenger side YJ cabels and I pick them up today. So should I return (1) and get a XJ passenger side cable? Can't reuse the one on my XJ it was cut off along time ago.

Would like to here from someone else that has extended there E-Brake Cables on a 97+ cherokee.

I supposed to stop and pick up the YJ cabels today when I get off work. Should I return (1) of the YJ Passenger side cabel and get (1) for a passenger side XJ? Or just try using (2) of the YJ cabels? Im sure there's been more than only 1 person that has extended a 97+ XJ E-Brake Cables. Please help. Need this fixed before next weekend. Going on a trail ride next weekend that is raising money for breast cancer.

How far down the unibody did you relocate it? And are you still running stock cables?
