Shouldn't really be necesary and I don't know of anyone who has had to.
There's heaps of play in the cable so it really shouldn't be an issue for a 2" b/l but for 3" may require some work.

:) Just thought i'd check as the mechanic had a whinge that i wouldn't get full artic. and that removing the mounting screw for the cable on the leading arm made it unroadworthy. in that case - "Lets not even think about the o'size tyres, oilleaks ....".guess who's got a new mechanic! :armsup:
cheers for the reply.

Will be looking into lowering the mount a bit further down the track. With rear sway bar removed and at full articulation my cable is getting a bit on the tight side. At the moment the shocks max out before the handbrake cable becomes a guitar string.

That's with 2 inch body lift and lifted springs.

OK guys I now need to extend the cable as it is "inhibiting" rear articulation. H Brake cable is tight before the shocks are maxing out.

Anyone had any good ideas about how to go about extending the cable.

Blair, it's certainly gonna be an issue with mine with the A frame rear and extra flex. I showed Cheezy and his idea was to make different mounts off the trailing arms, test with flex and reposition if necesary.

A J Top with a 3" body lift I did was pulling the outer cable out of the top body mount off road.
I had already fitted longer tags to trailing arms so I had new cables made up,$202.50 NZ a pair,3" longer.

With my 2", the e-brake cables still had slack. BUt check the rear flex lines themselves. Mine was acting like a limiting strap, till I extended it! :?
