Thread: Parking Brake Cable

Started 2 months, 2 weeks ago by Crusher16
Tried searching but can't find anything, but maybe I didn't search the right things. I did the disk brake conversion using ZJ parts. I'm sitting about 1" of lift in the back. I got some parking brake cables from a ZJ and they are about 3 inches too short to reach the lever. What would be the best way to fix this? Are there other brake cables I should get that would work perfectly?

I've heard using KJ (Liberty) cables is the common fix. Someone else mentioned cables from a 1996-ish Ford Exploder.... I still don't know why XJ cables won't work....

x2, to me that makes more sense than going with a parking brake cable that is way too long....
