That is a big...NO. You can get the ones from the Exploder or from MORE. They have a kit for it. Juice

There are several guys using the stock cables.You just wrap the cable around the hook and use a small cable clamp!

Stock cables and a cable clamp on the lever is what I'm using on my setup (6" lift, M20 rear, Ford SVO rear disc kit-same as 8.8). The Ford discs have the ebrake lever on top of the backing plate instead of the stock bottom location so you gain some slack in the stock cable.
