Ebrake help?
Now that I have my 6in lift I need to figure out how to get the ebrake working. The rear cables are too short now. Is there anyone that has tackled this issue?????
And yes, I want my ebrake working. I looked at the inline tube site and it appears the shortbed and blazer rear cables are the same. Longbed cables mount differently inside the drum. They don't list length of the cables. I was hoping the cables from a longbed would work. Any suggestions????? Thanks

Re: Ebrake help?
inline tube can make custom length cables - I would start there

IIRC there's a thread in the 4x4 section that has the info your looking to find.

Re: Ebrake help?
I'm bringing this post back. By the way, I searched around the site for a while but never really found my answer. My K5 has cables that are around 40 inches long (not including the few inches that are inside the drum). First off, I'm not sure if these are the originals cable or not. Specifically, has anyone used ebrake cables from a long bed and had any success? I have a six-inch lift.

Holy Schmoley! It's alive again.
Never did get or find an answer. Put it on the back burner since I'm doing rust repair and she hasn't moved from the garage.
