Dana 44 ZJ disk conversion e-brake cable question

cliff h · Feb 7, 2011

Sorry, I searched and cannot find the info I seek (I suck at searching). I did a ZJ rear disk conversion on my XJ Dana 44. From what I did find searching, ZJ parking brake cables are too short. I don't want to use my existing cables with a cable clamp. Will the M.O.R.E e-brake cables for a 8.8 swap work??? Thanks in advance!

"XJ disc conversion cables can be ordered from Rustys, Quadratec, 4wd.com, Jeep4x4center.com, and more places under the following part numbers by Crown:
84/96 use p/n DBC-05 (L&R side x 2)
97/01 R use p/n DBC-06
97/01 L use p/n DBC-07"

Those will work for pretty much every disc conversion.

I understand wanting to do it "right" but I've been running a cable clamp on my parking brake for *years* with no issues, maintenance or attention paid. To each their own, but a cable clamp costs $0.39 vs. whatever Crown wants these days...
