Ford 8.8 axle e-brake mod for '00 XJ
What is the best approach to connect the parking/emergency brake cables for a Ford 8.8 rear axle parking/emergency brakes to a '00 XJ 4-door. I bought the cables for the Ford 8.8 axle. They are too long. I have the original equalizer, front cable and bracket that mounts to driver side frame. Should I return the Ford cables and use Cherokee XJ cables?

The XJ Cables work
1) Clip the End on the Axle Side
2) Wrap it around the E-Brake Hook
3) Clamp the line with 2 Line Clamps
Been running that way for over 5+ years no issues

I ran mine the same way for a while. I got fancy & wanted to run a ZJ & Explorer cable.
I should have left it alone.
You can get the cable clamps for less than 50 cents each.
