    Does anyone have any experience on re-routing the E-Brake cable after a lift spaer install????

    Front end: Rancho 9 way adjustable Quick Lift loaded strut assemblies 2 inch lift (actual yield
    1 1/2 inch)
    Rear End: Ranco 9 way adjustable Shocks, Ready Lift 2 inch spacer (Actual yield 1.99999 Inches)

    Issue: E Brake cable will not couple w/ it's adjuster/acuator and the brackets won't support this arrangement. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    You might want to show pictures of the installed spacers

    Without seeing my first thought would be make a hole through the spacer large enough to fit the cable end through.

    Without the Ebrake your going to get real good adjusting your brake shoes

    Thats the problem with rear 'lift blocks'. You'll have to remove them, and install shorter blocks ( 1" or 1.5" ?) or use a a better lift method (lift spring packs)

    do you mean at the front or at the rear?

    if the rear there's a post bout making an extended bracket to connect the cable.

    if the front then you're going to need a longer cable.

    although I've never hear of anyone having an issue at the front as it's adjustable to an extent. :notsure:

    Of course as soon as I hit "Post", I realized the whole reason for forums is for like minded individuals to have a spot to gather together and have a source from which they could share experiences and ideas. Using the handy search feature, I did find the TTORA E-Brake Cable Extension post and I plan on taking the extension idea and adding a "twist" to the idea. I'm thinking a narrow "C" Channel with a jam nut and adjusting bolt that will keep it from rocking forward upon application of the E-Brake. I will post pictures and specs if the idea works out.
