ebrake cables
 

my brother just got a 80 gmc k15 4" lift and 33's

looks like the ebrake cables are too short now from the lift.

anyone else have problems like this?

do u need longer cables? or make a new bracket?

I just dont use them....I have park on the th350...so I didnt hook it up,all though neither of the trucks e brakes were to short,and the one is lifted 6" or so

well it has to go through an inspection so they need to be hooked up and working

You can relocate the brackets so the cables from the backing plates will reach them. Be sure to allow for axle droop/ articulation. Back the adjuster all the way out, and if the cables won't reach, cut the "flat U" cable connector in half and weld metal in to join it back together, lengthening it. Or scam a couple more "U'" pieces from a parts truck & weld them end to end.

I think the "U' part could be better described as a "double J".

You can order special lengths from inlinetube.com

ya well when its up on the hoist at full droop, all the brake lines are too short.

its just the ebrake situation now
