What kind of problems are you having? Hooking it up to the drum itself? Info.
My E brake cable is pretty streched with 10 inches of lift. It will work though :bigthumb:
it is to short on the passenger side. how do you just adjust one side to make it longer by a couple inches so i can hook it up to the e brake linkage. :bigthumb:
honestly Im not sure right off hand if there is an adjustment or not. (too cold and snowy outside right now) Im thinking you can adjust it somehow. When I lifted mine, I never took them off.
i took it off cuz i put a dana 70 in and got rid of the 9 1/4.
Theres an adjustment bolt right by your driverside rear tire on the cable where you might be able to squeeze a couple inches out.
cool let me try that. :bigthumb:

I just went and looked at mine, the adjustable link is for the driver side cable only. Since i didn't see one for the pass side back there, i'm guessing you have to loosen it further up towards the e-brake pedal, then tighten the driver side one to make them equal length.

hope this helps.
