Well I am in the process of installing a new RC 4.5 in lift. The rear is done, but i've noticed that the emergency brake cable is pretty taught while the axle is suspended. Are there any other setups that I can just swap in to give me a little more wiggle room? This is on a 95 4 door.

Thanks,

Keith

I used comanche rear cables on mine the casing is about 5-6 inches longer but the cables are shorter so I cut and extended my adjusting bolt to make up the diffrence

You can use two Pass side YJ (95 wrangler). Much longer casing and only a hair shorter cables.

At that height the stock cables will work but be stretched articulating. 2 pass YJ cables worked for me as well.

Another way to extend them is to move the frame bracket back about 3 inches by drilling new mounting holes and using self tapping screws. This should give you enough with 3-4" lift, and it is cheap!!
