I'm in the middle of installing my 6.5" BDS long arm kit and the E brake cables don't look like they will be long enough. So does any one know if the stock ones will work or will they break under flex

When i put my 6.5" long arm on a few years ago, I had to lower the ebrake center tension block (01XJ) to get the cables to reach. Made a bracket to lower it. Of course I smashed that all up after a few trips. The cables were tight but remained working.
I ran a Corp 8.25 and a D-44 with the same set of cables.

Run them, worse case after you get it all together you may need to relocate the tension block a little.
 
I just moved mine back from the current location. and they work fine, thats on 7+"'s of lift.
 
my stock cables worked but when i would come off the trial id have to reset the tension as flexing would stretch the cables

i swaped then out for some yj cables and never looked back
