Great price. Thanks for finding them. I'll be ordering some for my 8.8.

NOTE: they are for a 96 & down.

I'm going to borrow this, if you don't mind.

Default Liberty Brake Cables

I ended up just using the ones I took off the liberty when I removed the caliper and backing plates. Here is a picture of them installed.

Have you checked your axle droop on that side to see if that's going to limit downtravel (or cause other issues)?

Looks close to the muffler. The ZJ comes with some heat reflectant on them.

That is at full droop and the install is not completed yet. I plan on using the stock location on the rear differential to lower the cable away from the exhaust. When I finish I will take another picture of it. If I find it to close to the exhaust the other option I was looking at was to install it on one of the U-bolts.
