    Lifted my '99 3" in front & 1.5" in rear, now leaf springs in the way of my parking brake cables. Any ideas?

    How did you lift the rear, blocks? Generally you can make an extension bracket for the ebrake cable routing/mounting points. Its been covered on TW a few times.

    Blocks will provide clearance issues because of the way the cable is routed. Best bet is ditch the blocks, and either do it right with rebuilding/replacing the leafpack, or get a longer shackle.

    OP,
    Ditch the blocks.
    Do it right the 1st time. Look up axle wrap, with blocks you'll enjoy it, in a bad way.
