E brake cables won't reach after lift
I just put my 2 door at about 6 inches of lift and the e brake cables won't reach. Is the common/easiest fix to this problem to just cut and extend the rod where the 2 cables attach to the e brake handle?
thanks
thanks

That tells you that you lifted it too high.
Yes, that will work. Either that or find some longer cables. Seems I've seen people using XJ cables.

I have an xj and those cables won't fit. And yeah it probably doesn't belong here, sorry mods.
anyone know a truck that has longer cables that would work?

I like it. I set it up to hold the front wheels. Not recommended for over night parking though.

that'll get you set up with proper length lines for brake and e-brake using YJ lines with part numbers
