Default E brake cables

I installed my lift I went up 4.5 inches. The ebrake cables are super tight to where you can even wiggle them is this normal? If not how can I fix this ? Any input would be greatly appreciated. It's a 96 xj.

many go with 2 passenger side yj cables. the yj uses a foot pedal.
but you will have to modify the adjuster rod on the xj to get enough cable tension.
google that and you should get a few write ups including pics to help visualize the operation.

i tried using a passenger side cable from a 97 and up xj, but i messed up the length of the housing i had to cut away. so i'm currently running with no e-brake till i get that fixed.
